Default just to be sure

before i go ahead and buy my 35's. actually 35x12.5R20, i just want to be positive theyre gonna fit. i have a 3" body and a 2.5" leveling kit on a 2wd and i just want to be sure the tires are gonna fit before i go buy them and run into problems. im sure this has been covered before but i just want to be sure.

I have the stock tires believe they're 33 inch tires on a 4wd so I'd imagine you 3" and 2.5" would give you pleanty of clearance with no rubbing. if you just had the leveling kit you'd prob run into issues. how much taller are they from your current tires? Prob 2 or 3 inches, just take a ruler and measure 1 to 1.5" out from your tire and see how much clearance you have.

How much wider are the new ones? Do the same as the above for the width, turn you tires hard left or right when you test the width.

ya thats what im gonna do. just waiting to put my leveling kit in though and then im gonna have to look. im having a real problem deciding what tires im gonna get though.i was gonna get the Mickey thompson ATZ's then realized theyre to expensive right now, so then i was gonna go with Dick Cepek FC-II's because they had free freight. then i called around locally and got a good price for Nitto mud grapplers and i wouldnt have to deal with shipping and it would be the cheapest way to go, and then i looked up some pro comp xtreme A/T and i can get a pretty good deal on them for like $291 a piece with $90 shipping and $75 rebate. so im pretty tossed.

nittos are good and priced fair, go with their ats not MUDs, you'll be sliding past redlights on the rain with MUDs, youll really notice the lack of rubber to road with MUDs.
