I'm fixin to purchase some tires. will have a 2.5" leveling kit installed. Want to go with Toyo Open Country AT II but can not decide on 35x12.50/20, 33x12.50/20, or 275/65r20 (34x11/20). i'd like to go with the 35's but am concerned with rubbing and awful gas mileage. i would go with 275/65r20 but am concerned with them looking too skinny for that tall of a tire. my optimal size would be 285,295/60,65/r20 but those sizes are outside of my budget. if anyone could post pictures, share experiences or advice, i'd greatly appreciate it. thanks to everyone in advance!

 

I'm running the 305x55x20's on my stock wheels on my '11 Lariat...no rubbing but close on the inside to the control arm. Had them on for 24k miles with no problem's...expect to lose around 2 mpg with these tires that are 73 lbs ea.

 

i was in the same boat as you, but in 18s. a neighbor of mine had 12.5 inch wides on his factory rims with a level and had rubbing issues. so i went with a 275 width and am very happy. nice color combo on the truck by the way

 

Yeah I'm on the fence. Care to share some pictures? What exact size did u get? Part of me is saying go big or go home and deal with the rubbing, but then they may rub terribly off road with suspension movement to the point I can't go off road.

 

I'd go with the 33x12.50's (305/55-20).

 

ya i can send you pictures once i get to my home computer, but only if you send me those pics of your tool box haha! and i even think i have a few pictures of 33x12.5s on my factory wheels too. the 12.5s are def wider and have a more mean look, but that wasnt worth it to me when they were 1-more expensive, 2-rubbed, 3-probably wouldve gotten slightly worse mpgs. i had 33x12.5x18 and they rubbed dailying but also pretty bad offroad. i only have a 2 inch level to try to save my ball joints as best i can. now i am running 275/70/18 which is around 33.2/11/18. but ya, pics when i get home
