Just bought my zone 4/2" lift today... I'm sticking with the stock 20s in my '11 sport... So my tire size options are 305/60, 285/65 or 295/60.. Does anybody have a tire in those sizes they like or are running? Maybe a pic or two? Or does anybody know a size that's around a 34-35 and less than 12.25 wide that I don't know?

With a 4" lift I'd go for a 295/65/20 tire. It will look the best. Your other option would be getting some BORA wheel spacers and running a full 35x12.5 tire. That would look even better IMO.

What tires are you looking at?

The tire I want is the Cooper st maxx.. 275/65.. It would be a 34x11.. But it won't be the stance I want.. The only tire I found in 295/65 is the nitto trail grappled.. It's actually 35.5x12.2.. The would push the tire out half and inch.. And I think would look perfect with the power wagon flares I just picked up.. But.. Not a nitto fan...

I'm not really an adapter or spacer fan either.. But I may end up with doing the 1/4 spacer.. I'm guessing it's kind of common round here

Wheels are like women. Everyone's done the good ones, and the bad ones are just bad. Find a set you like and just go with it.

Lol y'all are suppose to save me $800 and tell me a 1/4 spacer zero chance of being any kind of factor for damage... I kinda like the machined xd addict.. Just don't wanna spend an arm and leg..

If it helps my buddy ran 35x12.5 TrailGrapplers on the stocks with 1/4" spacers for 50k+ miles and had no issues with the spacers or hubs themselves. This still didn't alleviate his rubbing issues though. He was leveled w/ bils and 3" body lift.

If I run the nittos with a .25 spacer on the stocks it should sit out 3/4" and that will fit my plan.. Perfectly.. The only other issue is the nitto runs 35.5 tall.. Most 35s are actually only 34.5s.. I'm wondering how stuffed it will look.. I know there are pics everywhere but they don't really do it justice

Check out Toyo Tires. They make some of the best tires on the market IMO. Great quality and design. A 295/60/20 would also be another good option for you if you're worried about the tire being too stuffed. However they won't be on a 4" lift...

Personally I'd go for a 35x12.5 tire and run 10mm hub centric spacers from Motorsport Tech. Or aftermarket rims if you wanted to go that direction... either way, it will look good.

I'm either going 35x12.5 Cooper st Maxx with a 1/4 spacer.. Or 295/60 nitto trail grappler with a 1/4 spacer.. Respectively that should sit 1-1.25" and .75-1" out of the fender.. Kinda all depends on the coverage of the power wagon flares.. I saw the answer once on here but now can't find it or on google

I'm saying that wrong.. I have the flares, just not installed... I'm hopping for pics of those two set ups.. For actual coverage.. Not just my eyeball measurements..
