I have 31x12.5. On 4.5" lift and no fender trimming. And I hardly ever scrub. But 35 would be close

I would hope 31s would fit on a 4.5 lift with no fender trimming.

i want to have either 33's or 35's on it because i think 31x12.5 look to small and fat.

This is 4.5" RE coils in front, 33" tires, LOTS of trimming, factory bumpstops. I could stuff 35s right to the bumpstops with very little rubbing.



Yes, I know my rear shocks aren't mounted. This was just me moving it around, gf decided to take pictures.

Zab, I actually bought/traded labor for it all cut up like that. I put my axles and coils/leaf packs under it. Built the bumpers, modded the cage, did some little work to it. It's in progress still, will get new bumpers again 'cause I'm not happy with the quality of these. If I can find the link, he posted a build on the doors I think. I'll look.
