Default Wheel and Tires

Ok everyone I need your expert advice. Im set on buying 20 Rockstar wheels for my black beast, but my questions are as follows. Im going to put a 3inch leveling kit on as well, are 33's the biggest I can go with a tire? ....my truck is a 4x4

Next question:
What type of tire would you suggest? I like the Dune grapplers. I drive 95% road. Im looking for something with not to much road noise but looks aggresive. I had BF goodrich AT's on my wragler when I had it about 10 years ago, and that was a good tire. I just ask becuase ive been out of the 4x4 game for so long I dont know what tires are good now. Any suggestions are more then welcome also....so feel free!!!!

From what I've read a 3" kit will house a 33x12.5 fine. Any bigger will start rubbing. I am a BGF fan and the AT's have always been a great tire and always will be. You might wanna try looking for a metric equal. I assume you have 275's might wanna look at 295 or 300's.

Wow a 12.5 will fit under there as a 33 and not rub? Thats crazy! That would look mean on the truck. Anyone else have any suggestions?

If I was to leave my truck stock, what would be the biggest set of rims I could put on their? Would I be able to put 20's or 22's on there without having to change the height of the truck?

I believe you can fit 22's - there should be pics of such around if you search.

Hey, white truck black rims, can we get a picture of the front or back so we can see how much the tires stick out the side, and do you have fender flares?
