What size wheels are they? 17 by what and what offset/backspace? May jump up to that size next, but will want to regear if I do with my 3.55s. Still a ways away from tires unless I sell current ones.

I put 305/55/20 nitto trail grapplers MT. With a 3" leveling kit They are 33.39 by 12.60 inch and fit without rubbing on my stock rims. They did rub my parking break cable so I had to weld on a plate and move the cable over a bit and adjust the cable. I tried the 35/12.5/20 inch and they rubbed the control arm. So 33 are the way to go unless you are getting new rims. The 33 keep the truck looking like it's lifted though.

Not 100% but pretty sure they are 17X8.5 with a 5.75 back spacing...I have to order another one, since some idiot decided to customize my truck while we were at dinner... So when I order it I'll double check..

I think it varies by tire brand. I know my Toyos are 34" tall, and 11.5" wide. Size is 285-70-18. No rubbing at all with a 2" leveling kit. I probably didnt need to level it to fit them, but I wanted the look.

I just installed a 2.5" kit, and went with 33x12.50 Toyo Open Country M/T on a 20x8.5 with a +10 offset. No rub, looks great!
