I have been told 2 different sizes i've been told a 305/75r16 will fit and i've heard a 315/75r16 will fit. I would like to get a set of 305/75r16 for mine next, right now i have 285/75r16 on it, i have a little ways to go before rubbing.

I have 2'' leveling and have 35'' Mickey Thompson MTZ. They like to rub on real sharp turns.

just a little insight here...

if the wheels you are going to be running have 4.5" backspacing, the will most lyikely rub no matter what.

this is 6" of lift with 35s getting ready to grind

IDK what kind of back spacing you have, but on stock wheels 305-70-16 will rub if you turn hard L or R. Other than that they fit fine.

If you lose the lift what do you want for it? What size lift?

If ya'll are running that big of tires with only a leveling kit I have no clue why mine are rubbing on sharp turns.

its a 41/2 lift with (this is what sucks) brand new skyjacker 8000 series shocks that will have to go. the rest of the lift is in the body. but ya, ill be selling the lift with shocks if i chose to lose it all. i am thinking a 305 because i dont want to rub and if i do only a little bit.
