You'll clear 'em, might rub on extreme turns or really bad bounces, but for the most part you'll be ok. If you have the stock rims you might want to opt for a 35" by no more than 11.5", but if you've got aftermarkets with a little more backspacing, you could run 35x12.5's pretty well...

I'm putting on a 2" kit to level it out, what's the biggest I can run on stock rims. I have 245/70R17 now. I thought they were supposed to be 265s but apparently these aren't.

Thanks

need to know what year and if it's a 4x4 or 4x2, it makes a difference...

I was looking at the BFG All-Terrain T/A KO or the Mud-Terrain KM. Something good in the mud, but with longer life and more aggressive looking than the stock ones on right now.
Thanks
