Default 35s?

What about 35s with a leveling kit? Thinking either mudd or trail grapplers but not sure. Anyone have recommendations? And how much trimming would I need to do to fit the new tires?

Some can run them with little to no trimming some cannot, not every truck comes the same and they dont all sit the same after a leveling kit. What Ive seen, as long as you dont go too wide and dont stick them out too far you should be ok, depends on the rim and backspacing. Also, the more agressive the tire e.g. mud terrains are less likely to fit than say an a/t. I would have a test fit done to see if it fits and what it rubs if anything and trim accordingly, as long as you are not rubbing the control arm you should be ok.

The big question is what kind of truck do you have? Then we can go from there...

Yeah, I kinda forgot that part, if your truck isnt 4x4 theres no chance of running 35's without a lift.

2wd w/o level = 31's
2wd w/level = 33's
4wd w/o level = 33's
4wd w/level 33-35 depending on width of tire, tire/rim combo, tread aggresiveness etc.

If you have 17" wheel's a 295x70x17 which is close to 34 inches tall is a good fit. No rubbing either.
