35" on 17s

[usaf2006]

Looking for some 35/12.50r17s, not too expensive, but decent on lifetime and mud. I live in Georgia, and we have some soupy clay down here, but my truck is my DD to work. Thankfully I work on an army base where I can go mudding on trails after work. I love the look of maxxis trepadors (directional), anyone got experience with them? Any other suggestions for tires that will experience soupy mud?

Going to level my truck and do a 1" block lift in the rear for a slight rake in the near future. I know the 35s will be a little stuffed, but I like that look.

Found a decent directional tire on eBay, but it only comes in 33/12.50r17s. They're called Ginell mts, and look like a maxxis knock off. Maybe I just go with a level, and stay with smaller tires.

I like my stock rims, but 12.5" wide tires won't fit. What do you guys think, spacers or offset steel rims?

I'm running I set of lionclaws they're in the budget category and I have no issue with not getting stuck as a 2wd and if memory serves they have the size you want

Badass truck blackbeauty! I wish I could stuff 37s on this truck easily.

Lil, I've seen those on eBay. How long have you had them? Any issues with out of round, or any other defects? How many miles you got on them? I'm going to get at least 40k miles from whatever I buy, which gives me about 5 years of driving time.

Yeah I don't want to sell myself short. I reaaaallly want the Maxxis Trepadors. Don't want to settle for 33s

I've had them for about 3 months maybe 2000 miles and I live them quiet and smooth ride and tough as nails
