Stole these from the 1500diesel forum. This will be similar to what I do on my next one. Level with 34" duratracs.

The tire size is 275/65/20 Goodyear Duratracs

No rubbing at all. That is mostly due to the amount of space my front bumper frees up. My friend has a similar set up just with the factory bumper. He has to trim. Honestly, it is so minimal I didn't even notice until he pointed it out. Just the plastic wheel well liner. Not a big deal. Extremely minimal. If I see him today, I will snatch a photo for you.

sweet deal, its probably something i could just do in my garage. If i even need to trim

You should feel odd to say "yea bro", period.

:)

I had 35s at 2.8... It did look good, but it also looked stuffed, all depends on the angle. I like more wheel gap, for numerous reasons, but mostly because I think it looks better. If I were to only stay at 2.8, I'd have some 275/65r20 on there and be happy.

35s at 2.8 (17x9)

Should probably rub around here...

i appreciate the pics.. i wasn't sure what part of the fender needed to be trimmed until i saw this. but i feel ya on the wanting more of a wheel gap than the 35's give. Ill probably end up going 34's i don't plan to lift any time soon

Toyo 35x12.5"

Toyo 35x12.5 at 2.8 in front and 1" in back with 10mm Motorsport hub centric spacers. I had the same back and forth dilemma. So glad I went bigger. I get tons of compliments. It's a daily driver so it's just enough. Rides great, steers great, 80mph+ with no vibrations at all. Toyo's are super quiet and are a perfect all around tire. I got lucky and chose the right stuff based on everyone's help on this site. Love it.

I've had Chrysler exec's and designers comment on my truck when I had meetings at the Tech Center in Auburn Hills MI.

I have a 2013 1500 looking to do a level lift 2.5 front and 1" rear and also add air bags in the rear.... but I had one shop tell me that 35x12.5r17 would rub... I want to run a -12 offset anyways (I love then look of the stance with the wide offset wheels!)
