35's would fit...you'd have to do a little minor trimming probably...that kind of depends on the aggresiveness of the tire...are you wanting All Terrain Tires, or Mud Tires???

id get a nice set of 33s. it will fit nicely with no rubbing, and wont affect your gas mileage and power as much as 35s will (since i dooubt you want to regear).

if you want aggresive looks and you do offroading, get a mud terrain tire like BFG or Toyo or if you offroad a lot maybe nitto muds (really loud on the road though).

or if you just want an aggressive all-terrain tire i recomend the BFG ATs. they have excellent tread life and do well offroad and have the most aggresive look (i think) for an all-terrain. i have two friends with these and they both love 'em.

You might also consider the Nitto Terra Grapplers, Toyo AT's, Pro Comp Xtreme AT's and **** Cepek FC II's.

I'm wondering the same thing, I want to do ONLY the leveling kit, and keep my stock wheels. What offroad(ish) tires can I put on? I know the 18in wheels can fit 305's

Im just got my set of Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ Trad. about a month ago, and Im real impressed with them. Look aggressive, and just last week out performed the BFG AT's in some THICK mud. Im running a 305/55/20 (33x12.5). Have done well in snow, ice, rain, and mud.

Here's a pic
