BTW What size tires are those? 33s? I wanna put 35s on mine and just keep the stock rims. And can you post more pics of your truck? I wanna get a better idea of what mine would look like on stock rims with bigger tires.

Actually they are 295/70-18's which are a little bigger than 34". I am going to go with toyo mt's next time in 285/75-18 which are just shy of 35", just not as wide as a normal 35". I will post some more pics.

Try plasti-dip to black it all out. I used to have chrome everything and like the blackout look much better. Would love to have that beefy front bumper. Looks great.

So are the 295s the max size you can put on it? I wanna get the largest, widest tires that my truck (all stock except for 3" level) will fit, without any rubbing.

The 295's rub very lightly at full turn. If it were not for the width of the stock wheels 35's wouldn't be a problem. With the width of the stock wheels 35/12.50 are actually going to be taller than 35".

I would play it safe and go with the 295/70-18's, I know they will work for sure since u have the same lift as me.

A big part of tires rubbing is not just the tire width but the rims backs pacing and offset.
