Yeah post some pics if you get a chance.

I could do a 33 I just wanted a little more sidewall. Eitherway I believe my stock tires are like 31.5 anything will be an upgrade! Lol

I was also thinking what if I add a .75" spacer on top of my front shocks as well (if they have them)? So I'd be at 2.85" in the front and 3" in the rear. It wouldn't give me the rake I'm looking for but should help with a bigger tire?

Smallest spacer I've seen is 1.5. If you are wanting more than 2.5 or if you want adjustability and keep a good on road ride might want to look at Halo lifts coilovers, my dad has them and they are silky smooth on the road. If you are set on 35" tires try to look at 9" wide wheels with an offset at 0 or higher. With 2.5" level a 35 12.5 tire should fit with minimal or no trimming. You could also go with a 4" lift and keep your factory rake.

here are some pics of what was trimmed. It was all plastic in the front and had a small fender mod in the back. If you want more sidewall you can see if they offer a 20x10 in the wheel you like. It would give you more sidewall and tires would probably be cheaper. But don't let people's opinion on the forum change what you want. It is your build after all. Good luck!! Post some pictures after you get the new wheel and tire setup.

This guy here has an auto spring leveling kit with 22x12 and 33s, I'm not a fan of the offset and wouldn't go that route but if he can pull this off couldn't I pull it off with bilsteins at max, 22x10 and let's say 33s? Let's say a +18 offset for a number, or is his -44 offset what makes it work?

I would prefer a 34 or 35 but might not be able to from what everyone is saying...

This guy here has the bilstiens at max, stock rear block with 22x10 and 33x12.50, claims no rubbing with minor trimming...

I hate to say it but I might need to order 33s? I wonder if I could do a 34?

Again does offset affect the tire size? These guys are both running negative offsets...

The lower the offset the harder the fitment. You can try a 34 or 35 but in my opinion you will have to trim quite a bit. Maybe even take of some of the metal on the bumper. You could probably get away with a 34. Also I don't know a whole lot of companies that sell a 34x12.5 tire in a 22in wheel. You may have to go down in width to something like a 285/55r22. Maybe look for the tire size you want first then you will know what you can order.

I'm pretty dead set on the nitro ridge grapplers, I'll have to see what sizes they offer. I'm really trying to avoid the look of a 22 with 33s but am getting the feeling I won't have a choice...

I've got the 5100 front level with 315/75/17....soooo 34.6 bfg ko2 no level in rear and I had to trim a bit of metal with 0 offset

Thanks that's good to hear!

I just installed the 5100s and rear block tonight, I like the way it looks but needs bigger tires! I took a tape measure set to 35" at the center if the wheel and it looks like they should fit, I may need to do a little plastic trimming but looks like it might work fine. I suppose I'll find out when they go on.

I still haven't ordered rims or tires yet but I'm thinking the ridge Grapplers 35x12.5r22 might be what I'm ordering..
