Need some input on tire and wheel size

New tires and wheels coming soon and I need to know what is the best combo. Wheels are gonna be 18x9. Truck is leveled and I think 35's will rub so I was gonna go with either 33/12.50 or 285/65's. I have 305/70/16 now on stock wheels with no rub. Thoughts?

Darrell, I am running 35x12.5x16.5 BFG AT's with 16.5x9.75 rims on my 2000 with an add a leaf and sanderson 2" schackles. With just the add a leaf I had rubbing until I pulled the fender well plastic back and shimmed the front bumper out. Now that I have the sanderson shackles, I have lots of room!

Hey Darrell,

I'm running 37x12.5x17 on a set of '05 factory aluminum wheels with 1.25"spacers. SRW. Front has leveling springs with no lift to the rear. The front drivers rubs on the leaf spring at full lock, had to trim the air dam, and tie back the inner fender wells with zip ties at the back corners. All from PO. I would think that the 35's wouldnt rub at all. MAy have to trim the air dam still.
