I have finished installing my CST 4" lift on my 2013 sport 4x2 and already bought the wheels (20x10 Fuel Hostage) and I am trying to decide on a tire size. I know I want to run 35s but am unsure how wide I really need to go. I planned on getting Nitto Terra Grapplers, but I am having a hard time finding any tire wider than a 275 in 35". Any input on a better tire would be helpful also.

if youre looking for an AT, toyo's AT2 has by far the best looks, warranty, and tread life :)

I will look into both of those. I was leaning more towards an a/t as almost all my driving is highway. My only concern with going wide is clearence with the lift spindles. The wheels have a 4.5" BS and a -24 offset

the toyo at2 offers a 65kmile warranty on regular sizes and 50k on "extreme" sizes...people have also stated getting up to 50k out of the MTs too, but I dont think they offer a mileage warranty on the MTs

with that much backspacing, you wont have a problem running 12.50 wide tires, im pretty sure you could run a 13.50 at max

you have wheels with a large backspacing (stick out about .75 inches more compared to stock), plus the cst spindles stick your front tires out about 1.5"... so at the moment with stock 11" tires, you would already be sticking out 2.25" in the front, your rear would only be sticking out .75" more than stock

add more with wider tires and you can see where im going...WIDE!

be prepared for alot of dirt slinging on the side of your truck without flares

I love my 35x12.5x20 General Grabber AT2's, they look more aggressive than the Terra Grapplers and when I did my tire search they were a little bit cheaper too.
