Help Me Out...Tires!
Alright, I know this has been discussed over 27,463 times but I am starting it again, sorry Hammer.
07 2wd with 3"cups in front, 1.5" block on back. I have stock tires on the factory 20's...I know that there has been some disagreement on whether the stock rims need spacers or not, but I would really rather not have tires hanging too much out of the side if I don't have to.
But someone give me a tire size? I am thinking that I could fit 35's, measures out right but I think rubbing when at full turn/reverse could be an issue. Might have to trim fender? Prices too if you can, I'm a poor college student and would rather buy tires than a ring, but under pretty bad pressure as of right now about the ring haha

on my 2500 the 35"'s only rub on the radius arms at full lock, i got by with it until the tread wore out but it was anoying, im not so sure on what it might rub on in your truck, possibly your sway bar? but i think 33x12.50's might work out pretty well, but im sure some other people will chime in

Yea I'm sure you are right about chiming in...but you have a solid axle up front so you can go as big as you want with no problems...and I'm looking up some prices and you wouldn't believe the price difference between 17,18,and 20...its ridiculous, less rubber for more money

35's are big on the stock wheels with no spacers. These trucks have a terrible turning radius as it is IMO so I certainly wouldn't want to lose hard turning abilities. You'll be turning like a bus around those corners....lol just being facetious.

my truck turns better than my dad's rx300 (crossover suv), and some saturns. I think it's pretty good...especially if your let your foot get heavy and lay some rubber around.
going 35's is going to end up costing you about $100/tire more than 33"s.
i have the Cooper Zeons, but honestly, i can't recommend them if you see any significant amount of snow, especially with a 2wd.
