I have 295/70/18 with a 2" level and love it. I had to do some trimming but nothing serious. I wanted full turn and flex with no rubbing. Perfect stance and look for me.

You're right that does look good! By the way, what size of offset do you have and how hard was it to do the trimming? Like, was it the inside plastic or the front plastic?

The rims are 18x9 with a 5" backspacing. From a chart I read this = zero offset. They work great for me. As for trimming, I wanted total clearance. I simply used a razor blade and cut some of the rubber out of the inner fender well. And on the aft side of the fender well, the cab had a little metal welded seam sticking out by 1 inch, and I sanded that down to create clearance on full flex at full turn. This probably didn't need to be done, but I wanted to make sure.

Those look awesome as well. Also a 0 offset wheel? Perfect stance IMO. 35's are too big. These are about 34" and look just right
