as 2" kit and questions bout tires any help appreciated

i have a 07 screw and currently have 33x12.50 17 cooper discoverer st's on now and just ordered my as 2" leveling kit. just wondering if i got the 35x12.50's if they would fit. checked specs and 33's are actually 32.something and the 35's are 34.something i dont think they will rub on the front or back of the wheel well but maybe on the upper control arm?? any sugesstions.....

Do you still have the stock rims? I am debating on the 2.5 Leveling kit and some 295/70/17's which are right between 33's and 35's, and I am thinking, based on what I've read in this forum that they will work pretty slick on stock rims as far as rubbing is concerned.

You have any pics?

Is your screw a 4x4? because if so you should be able to fit them with a 2.5" leveling kit on stock wheels Idk about a 2". I fit 35's on with 2.5" kit but also are running wheels that are 1" wider than stock on my 4x4.

If you have a 4x4, you can fit a 35x12.50 by using the OEM wheels or a 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing. You will have some minor rubbing on the control arms at full steering lock.

well finally got it figured out. after talking to ppl and the possibility of regearing and running 3000 r's at 70 ha guna go with the 295/70's just a hair bigger than a 33 and wont have rubbing issues at all.
