It is prob going to be tuff. you will sureley scrub when you turn hard. I have 5 inches on mine with 32s and I had to trim my fenders a bit to get them to turn complete. now I have my fenders trimmed so it is no issue. So i guess the question would be do you still have your factory fender flares?

yes i still have fender flares and there not trimmed...maybe I'll just go with a 32..I have a set of bfg all terrains that are 32's with about 1/4 of the tread left maybe I'll just throw them on for a month or so and buy the new ones right before winter....at any rate..if anyone wants my mtz's with bout 1/2 tread left or the all terrains with 1/4 tread left let me know..I'll let them go cheap.

you should be fine with the 32's. pluss the larger tire you go to the more power u loose without diving into the gears. thats a whole nother ball game. 32's are a good balance.

no rims sorry...you can get rims easily though every salvage yard has a ton of rims...ranger rims are nice to have aluminum and bolt pattern is the same
