Yep they will work if you have a 4x4. You can clear 35's with a leveled 4x4 on stock rims so your 34's won't be a issue.

on fx2 with no level the biggest i believe you can go is 31 inch. from what i have researched you can go 275/65/17, well i have 17 inch stock rims not sure for 18. with a 2 inch level i could go up to 285/70/17 which is a 33inch tire

The stock rim isn't the issue. They are 7.5 inches wide. You will have clearance issues on 2wd unless you trim a little. Bshipe22 fit 315/70/17 on his 2wd with 3 inch level and minor trimming. So it can be done if you don't mind a little trimming. 295/65/18 is a little shorter and may work better for you.

I have 33x12.50x17 right now with no level, 2 wd, only rubs when in a full lock to the left only it seems like. But I have -12 rim offset. 2.5" level this Saturday and my new 305/70/17 are going on.

I dont mind so trimming. what I really want to buy are the nitto trail grappler m/t. I'm just afraid they may be to aggressive ( nubby) and will rub a hole lot on stock 18". Does anyone still run stock rims with larger tires?
