Depending on how aggressive of tire tread and the backspace of wheels you have it should be fine. Stock wheels or aftermarket wheels with close to the same backspace should be ok. Stock wheels with aggressive mud lugs may rub on the a-arms.

17x8.5 with 5.5" backspace / 35"BFG KM2 = No issues


20x9 with 5.9" backspace / 285/65/20 BFG KM = No issues

Are you 4wd or 2wd? It can be done, depends on the tire, factory or nonfactory wheels.. Trimming, etc.. If you are on the roads a lot, I would suggest if you want a more aggresive stance going with a 33" tire..

I say 33s, if you are doing a lot of road driving.. Less weight=better gas mileage, cheaper tires, still look aggressive and aren't as difficult to fit in.. a nice 33x12.5 MT would look really mean and not kill you.

A leveled 4x4 will clear 315x70x17's easily using the right wheel's.
