Default Leveling kit and fitting tires

I’m looking at getting new tires and hoping to fit 34 inch tires. Will they fit without rubbing on a 2-2.5” leveling kit?

I have Raptor wheels and tires, size 315/70R17, which I believe are about 34.5" with no rub. I have Bilstein 5100s set to the second highest setting. I think a lot depends on the offset of the wheel you are running. You should be fine as long as you're not running a crazy offset.

EDIT got a front mounted hitch and the tire was slightly rubbing on that, tires would normally fit without rubbing

Ive got 275/65 R20 on stock wheels with Bilsteins at 2.1 and i get a very slight rub going forward if i hold my steering wheel all the way to one side or the other.

FYI 275/65 roughly converts into 34.1 by 11 inches

What width tire?
What width wheel?
What wheel offset?

You might be ok- but this is key information.

thats really weird, i originally had the tires on Raptor Replica wheels which were +20 offset and had no rubbing. I need to get my wife in the truck to hold the steering wheel at full lock to see what im hitting. It might be my mud flaps. With the Replicas on, they would slightly rub the mud flaps so i trimmed them. I need to investigate.
