yes i have started another tread on this
i have a 05 xlt 4x4 3.73 gears
2.5 inch level kit
17x8.5 with +25 offset mb tko backspace is 5.73 with firestone at's 255/70r17 just put up for sale
can i run a 285/75/17=34x11.5x17 or a 295/70/17=33.5x12x17
no rubbing and no cutting anything
stock rims 17x7.5 +44offset =5.98 backspace
i have read a lot of guys on here running a 35x12.5 on stock rims and having to add a 1/4 inch spacer
mounted currently on the rims are 255/70/17 oem size, plus minus the center cap i have the center cap from the mb chaos rim which is imo a lot better looking with exposed black lug nuts

anyone out there running 34's?
everyone talks about 33 and 35's, and that wheel fitment tread is wrong that factory offset for 17 and18's is 6 inch backspacing and you guys are running factory rims and 35'5 with a 1/4 wheel spacer which then in turn would be 5.75 inches of backspace , unless anyone can tell me different

There are a lot of dudes on here running factory rims and 35s. But a 295/70 on a factory rim should be around 34 inches and you should be good without the wheel spacer.

I had 295/70/18's on a level with stock rims and I had no rubbing. I believe the tire comes to 34.2
Also the dudes that are running wheels spacers generally have a "35x12.50" but there are a TON of tires that claim those dimensions but are closer to 13" wide due to the sidewall, or that is the closest high flotation measurement.
so i scraped the whole idea due to back order issues with toyo at2's.
i have done some searching and i am going to an 18x9 mb tko +25 offset=6 inch backspace and paired up with a set of 275/70/18 cooper s/t maxx tires
33.39x11.1x18 spec size

I just bought the cooper st Maxx in that size. I'm impressed with them thus far.
