You will need a dremel and need to cut a little sheet metal on the rear section of your front fender well. there are some trimming threads you should search for.
The blue truck is the one with 4.5" bs, right? If so, that's sticking out way to far for my taste. The Black one with the Cooper STT is much better

^ that's not the look I want though. One reason why I'm going with the 285 tire instead of a 315 is that the 285 is 1.2" narrower.
The setup I'm looking at will pull the tire in about 2" compared to yours, which is about how far out they're sticking, so that will be perfect

Look for a +12 or +18 offset. Not sure what other offset those wheels offer, but 5.5 inches on a nine inch wide wheel should work good. Would love to have stock 4.10s. Lucky you.

The Hostage is only offered in a 4.5bs or 5.25bs for my bolt pattern, the 5.25bs has an offset of 6mm, which isn't a lot, but it's better than -12 lol

Are you talking about the open country MTs or ATs? The MTs have meaty side-lugs and you will definitely rub quite a bit with just a leveling kit. I have 35x12.5 tires on a 18x9 rim with 5.4" backspacing and I rub on bumps while turning...with a 6" 4x4 suspension lift.

i'm talking about the A/Ts. Mud terrains wear faster and I don't have a need for them, and they're noisy lol

Their only 285s so 11.2" wide which helps quite a bit on the not rubbing part. i had 295/70R17s (33x11.6) on stock everything with no rubbing...
