do you have at least a leveling kit? if you go more than a .5 inch wider than stock size you will need spacers as the stock width is fialry close to the upper a-arm. 35x12.5 will fit with a leveling kit and 1/4 inch spacers on all 4 wheels.

Lame attempt to keep your name afloat...lol



Cooper LTZ's don't come in 35" size. Not to mention from the stock size to 305's is another $100 per tire. I couldn't justify that when I got mine. I stuck with the 275/60's.
