I think even with the CORRECT backspacing you will still rub a lil... From what I have found out you need atleast 2.5" extra upfront, and even then with stock wheels you might rub...
I would think 33's would be a good size for ample room to flex & bounce off road. I know that you could have fit those stock as well, but you really need the room in the tire well if you're gonna take your 4x4 off road much. If you want to fill your tire well but not rub with normal use than a 315/70/17 would be the biggest I would try with just a T-bar crank. That equates to a hair over 34" and still gives you good (about 12.5") width. There are many good A/T & M/T tires offered in 315/70/17...
I have my T-bars cranked high, it has a lot of room ! A 315/70/17 sounds good though ! thanks for help, because im wanting it to stick out from the side of the truck at least a inch and half or so, to give it that look....
I have a 2500 but I am running 315/70/17 bfg all terrains and they dont stick out much. I do have a level kit and that is all and there is plenty of room, crank your torsion bars. I might go with 305/70/17's you will have a few more choices and less chance of rub. are you regearing also? with gas prices the way they are you need to consider all options imo.
That "look" is illegal in most states.... you dont wanna go out to far... and i agree with jimmy... 305's are prolly a better bet and stay away from the bfg's...
