    Hi all,

    Purchased the wheels I've been wanting since before I got the truck, Method 701 18" (have them on a hard use work truck at my job). They are 18x9, +25/6.

    Additionally I purchased fox 2.5 extended 2-3" DSC coilovers up front, with an icon 1.5" leaf pack in the rear with Fox 2.5 dsc. I have a ranch hand bumper/grill guard showing up soon that will weigh the front down a bit, but planned to land around 2.5-3" of lift in the front. I am willing to trim and move plastic, and if needed, a BMC. Looking at general grabber atx and duratracs.

    So, what size should I go with, what can I cram in and be able to go full articulation? I had planned 35x12.50 but sounds like I could fit bigger at this offset and lift if I wanted. Just not sure if I want to go bigger.

    I will be getting 4.88 or 5.29 and lockers from Just Differentials, FYI.

    35x1250 with that effective lift (your lift will be 2-2.5 with that bumper, expect to lose about half inch from their lift height, those bumpers are heavy), and will probably need front air flaps, mud flaps removed, may need to heat and push the wheel well liner in with a basketball or do a bumper spacer, and maybe a BMC.

    You should also consider 285/75-18s. Tall 35s but less width and much easier to fit. Likely no BMC needed or as much fuss to fit 35s. Also weigh a lot less =better performance and drivability.

    If you are set on bigger is better, do a search as there are several that run 37 inch tires.
