    If they do get a body lift. Your step bars hide the frame. I say 35's.

    My 33x12.5s rubbed on the valence and mud flaps. I don't know the backspacing on my wheel though, but it looked like more offset wouldn't have helped the rubbing. A 35x12.5 wouldnt have fit, but a narrower one probably would.

    With that said, I in all honesty do not know how far my T-bars have been cranked, but by the way the truck sits I would guess maxxed.

    Do you have a pic of how far your tire stick out?
    I would like mine to stick out about 1-2"s

    I do believe that how far they stick out all depends on wheel width and back spacing. Mine are 16x8 and stick out an inch. And then the spindle pushes them out to about 2.

    I might on my laptop, but I'm on the other side of the country for a few more days. I can check when I get back. I'd take some for you when I get back but I've got winter tires on now.

    I think more offset might have helped with the rubbing on the valence. But it was damn close to the body, right above where the mudflap mounts.
