    I bet you can squeeze in a 285/70R17. it is about a 33"

    I think the 285's would be fine. If you did rub it would be very minimal.

    if i went ahead and put the 3 inch lift spindles on the front and 3 inch blocks in the back do you guys think it would clear 295/70r17's on the stock wheels and if it rubbed where would it rub and how would you fix it?

    yea those are about a 34x11.75 or so. they should fit and if they do rub you may just need to cut a little plastic thats all

    Do you all think 33-12.5's would fit with a 2" leveling kit, with some minor trimming or is that way too wide
