you tires are not going to make it stick out as much as new wheels would with a different off set..

How are those big O tires handling? Do they have good tread wear? I like the looks of their Bigfoot XT tire..

They are very quiet, I can't even hear them on the freeway. So far I have only had them for on for 50 miles, but I've had good tread wear with all the Big O brand tires I have had. They handle pretty well for 35's, better than the nitto terra grapplers I had on a previous truck.

I was thinking about going with the XT's because I wanted something that looked aggressive. But I'm actually glad I went with the AT's, I think they look pretty aggressive for an all terrain.

Ok cool so I like that look and I think i'll be ok with my 2.5" rancho quicklift and 315/70R17 A/T3's

I'm thinking the mud tires might be too much for going down the highway.

no rubbing right?

I had to trim an inch off the bottom plastic air dam on the bumper, it rubbed just slightly at full crank, took me 5 minutes to do both sides. Other than that there hasn't been any rubbing.

I run Bridgestone Dueler Revo AT 315-70-17's on stock wheels with 1.25" spacers and they seem to be good tires except for one thing, they get flat spots after sitting for awhile in cold temps. No biggie as they round out in a few miles but that, so far, is the only annoyance with the tire. I had to air them up to 45lbs to help with that problem. I also run the Dueler Revo's on my Expy EL without that issue and it sits at 35lbs. They are not AT's so maybe that's the difference.

I just got AT3s last week, coming off 2 sets of Revos. So far, very impressed with ride quality and noise, and they're a 55k mile tire (+15k over the revos). Haven't had them in any "fun" situations yet.
