Flex with 35s and a LK

I am considering getting 35s with a LK but I do some minor off roading, should I stick with 33s for the fact that I might flex too much and tear up my fenders? thanks

Depends on a couple of things. How high are you gonna lift it? What is the offset of the wheels you are gonna use.
There will be a bit of flex and if the tires stick out of the fender wells too much they will be more prone to rubbing when flex occurs.

With a 6" lift and 35s on wheels with a -12 offset I will get an occasional rub if I'm hitting it pretty hard, but not enough to mess up the fender.

I may stick with 33s and save up for a lift by the time I need new tires I will have the money for a 6" lift. Thanks bud.

you can fit up to a 38in. tire in the wheel wells of our trucks so you're fine.

I will only have a 2.5" lk for now. Just don't want to hit some bumps and tear a fender/ fender flare off.
