That works out to 35.3x12.8. I have 35x12.50s on a 2.5" lift. Only place they rubbed was on the bumper plastic, and only when backing into a driveway, which was easily fixed with a knife. Another option would be spacing the bumper out with some washers. Factory wheels actually give you the best chance of fitting big tires with little lift. My wheels are very close to stock backspacing.

Thanks!
Still wondering mileage difference 33s vs 35s on a couple of you 09 with 35s on? Im getting an average 15 on my computer in dash. I dont mind trimming that plastic off the bumper or spacing it! I had 35 ss Irok radials put on to test and they touched the stock fender flares when turned left or right... so guessing the goodyear duratracs will do the same?? just dont want to be doing bodywork when the wife goes to town for groceries when she gets back complaining bout the tires rubbing when parking and see the flares ripped wheel well plastic tore and tire **** cut up?? lol not a good picture in my head after spending bout 2grand! lol just thinking ahead! Your thoughts anyone?

My dash usually reads about 14mpg in mixed driving. So around 15.4mpg after accounting for larger tires.
I'm surprised the iroks rubbed that bad. You were using stock wheels right? Not your buddies wheels who has a 6" lift.

No I have stock rims only want the lariat 20 inch rims cause they're chrome instead of the FX4 20s mines black n chromed like a Harley except the stock rims! I really want the 35 inch goodyears they fill the wheel wells like they should be! Just don't want any real issues! I have 51000 miles on mine which may be the spring wear?? Sears has the best price at 411 each. What I don't get is the six inch lift says clearance for 35s when some are able with leveling kit. Granded we probably wouldnt be able to bounce in the ruts. My hardcore muddin days aren't for my truck! Lol Yet! I'll put a lift on it when I'm ready! mileage my truck read 19 on my dash for about first 15000 miles until I did more city driving, then leveling kit n 33s. I'm probably just going to order the 35s.
