Tire questions

thinking of getting Bilsteins 5100 with the 2inch lift. I have no other suspension mods.My question is whats the biggest tire I can get with little or no trimming.

Thanks

i have 35 12.50s with a 2in as and aftermarket wheels with only 5 in of backspacing and my rubbing is minimal.

with that setup, and stock whees, you should be able to run a 35 with slight rubbing on the control arm at full lock. no trimming needed or possible.

I have a 2.5" front spacer with 35x12.5 18's on the stock rims and they rub the control arm at full lock. I have just adjusted my driving style and make sure I dont go to full lock. I have thought about wheel adapters to bring the wheel out more but they are $160.
