I just put a set of Falken Wildpeaks on my truck and so far I like them a lot. I am running 315/70R17's and the price was ~$100 less each than BFG KO2's.

Regarding rubbing, I don't think you will rub if you want to go up to a 34-35" tire. As WireNutz mentioned, most of the rubbing is on the plastic valence on the ft bumper. I ran 315/70r17's on my 2010 with only Bilstein shocks on the highest setting - no rubbing at all. As long as you stay with wheels with close to factory offset you shouldn't rub.

And you guys are RIGHT!!! 35's will not rub!

I saw a guy with a 2.5" spacer that he showed me and he has 35's that don't run at all.

Ok, let's try this again.

Now how does she look? I decided to stick with 33's of the Toyo AT2's because I found out that out differential is weaker than the 04-08 and have 3.31 gears. I don't want to put unnecessary strain on my drivetrain so 33's it was..

Thank you man. Didn't like spending the extra $700 but it looks like a truck now and not a passenger vehicle.
