Would I be able to get 35x12.5x17 Toyo MT's on my 17x8 stock rims and have no rubbing once I put a 4'' suspension lift on the truck? The MT's end up being 13.2'' wide so would they still fit? I think that they would look nice and stuffed in that wheel well with stock rims.
I've got 35x12.5x17 FCII's on my truck with a 4" Rancho suspension lift and have a good bit of room.
The only issue you are gonna have might be clearing the A-Arms, most people with stock rims report then hitting when you cut the wheel sharply. Sposed to need about 4.5" of backspacing on your wheels to fully clear and the stockers have nowhere near that...
But height-wise, you'll see here by this pick that you'll clear 35" tires easily with 4" of lift:
That does look like it will clear. I think I will lean more towards a 325x65x18 (35x13.5x18) tire with 18x10 rims and 4.5'' backspacing. I am thinking about the FCII's, The MTZ's, or the Cooper STT's. I can get the cooper's for like 220 a piece. How loud are they compareded to the MTZ's or a BFG Mud Terrain?
