You might be able to fit a 35x12.50 but I can't say for sure. Might be a tight squeeze since I believe it's already a tight squeeze with stock wheels. May require very minor trimming.

This might be me looking for a problem that is just not there but i want to make sure that everything is all good:
2.5 front leveling kit, 1.5 read skyjacker add a leaf, goodyear duratrac 275/65-20. I checked for rubbing and there doesn't seem to be any however when i do a full turn, the nose dips down hard several inches and then rises when i steer back. this was in park and an absolute full turn. is this just from falling off of the tread pattern due to camber or am i hitting a part of the front suspension and compressing it? i took a look around and nothing seemed to be touching, but its dark and rainy so... thoughts?

ok, thanks for the response- very good to hear. i thought i was crazy. it felt 'powered' so i knew something was working. this forum is pretty epic- i do not post a lot but i read a ton. the changes i made were based on what i read here and now my truck is performing exactly how i want it to. it's also amazing how terribad the stock pirelli scorpions are.

I have an 05 lariat 4x4 with a 2.5 leveling kit. I just bought some 295/70/18 nitto terra grapplers and am looking for some new rims. I want some xd monsters. They have them in a -12, +18, and +35mm what would be the best fit for me?

Best rim for 2.5" leveling kit and 315/70R17
I have a 2004 F150 FX4 with 2.5" Roughcountry leveling kit. Got some second hand Firestone M/T 315/70R17 (about 60% thread). What would be the best fit for those tires with minimal/no rubbing with the most protrusion (sticking out of fender, I like the wide stance look).

Thanks
