Thoughts on what to do to my truck...

I was going to do a fabtech, 35s, etc.. Now since I just bought a 200k house I'm thinking I might want to buy some furniture instead. So, with a 2.5 level and 1.5 AAL, what's the biggest tires I could fit on some 18/10 hulks.. Maybe even do stock wheels and 35s.. Opinions? Pictures?

If you have a 4x4, I'd go with a 325/60-18 tire.

Wandell-

Any issues with a 325/65/18 tire on that setup?

I agree with Wandell a 325x60x18 or, a 305x65x18 on the stock wheels. These will fit on a leveled 4x4.

Right, you won't be able to fit a 325/65-18 (35x13.00) on aftermarket wheels with only a leveling kit.

What about 325/65/18 on stock FX4 wheel?

They will fit, but a 325mm wide tire is a little too wide for the OEM 7.5 inch wheels. The center of the tread may wear quickly.

What about rubbing issues? I just want to stick as much rubber as possible under there.

What about the new 305/70/18 pro comp extreme muds, these are like 35x12 would this tire work on 18x10's. but I know that they would work with the stockers, but I think that they would look sweet.

You can't fit a 35x12.50 with just a leveling kit using a 10 inch wide wheel. Well, I guess you could but not many people are willing to cut up their new truck with a sawsall.
There is a member here running 325/65-18's on stock wheels. I beleive he has some minor rubbing on the frame and control arms. I'd be concerned about tire wear issues. Maybe he will see this and give an update on how his tires are wearing.

Yes I would like to know how that is working out. I might not risk it and get the 305's, but I don't want to have any regrets about not going as big as I can.
