Actually, I had a question I wanted to throw in here too lol. I have the trx4 17's on my truck and was wondering if 35's will fit on those wheels if I put a leveling kit on my 08.

Depends on how wide you are going to go, I think those are 8" wide wheels.

Yeah, agreed. The absolute widest tire I'd put on an 8" wide wheel is a 12.5" tire. On paper, it's not really recommended, but I know many with that setup that have had no issues...

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.
