Default Tire sizing

So I'm new here, I have a 2015 that I put a lift leveling kit on 3.5inches front 2 in the back. I wanted to know if anyone knew what size tires I can get without rubbing or if there is rubbing minor trimming. I wanted to keep stock rims 18x9 and later get 18x9 XD798 Addicts.
Thanks for any input or experience you may have had

There will be people to help here before too long, I just can't add because I have a 2" in the front and 18x9s with a 0mm offset wheels. One thing I can add for you is that you most likely won't have to trim anything. The biggest problem people have when putting wheels/tires on these trucks are the crash bars in the front side of both front wheel wells. It's a metal bar bolted to the frame that can either be pushed out (bent forward) or cut off. I have 295/70R17 and my rub juuuuust barely in reverse in one direction. I haven't read of anyone having to trim plastic without first having to push or cut the crash bars.

-good luck and enjoy your '15

Welcome to the site! Is your truck a super crew? If yes, then you have crash bars which will limit you some. If not, then you're golden! I had 17x9 +18mm offset XD Addicts with 35" BFG KO2's, and I only rubbed my driver side front crash bar at full lock in reverse, and only sometimes. BUT, my front crash bars were swapped side to side so I have an extra 1/2" of clearance vs. factory. Here's what my set up looked like...

Yeah I have the super crew cab, I did not know about the crash bar but what you did with the 35 on addicts is exactly what I'm looking for what width tire did you put on the 17x9?
