I think the consensus is that a 4WD with a 2 inch leveling kit can fit 35s on the stock rims.

305/60 or 305/65 would put you in the 33'' range. A 35x12.50 will work too, like l337viton said.

33's easily will fit. Just jump up to 22's and fill out that wheel well

If they are the stock 18"s you can fit 35" tires but will need to have a width close to that of the factory tires otherwise your going to rub alot.

yup they are stock do you know what the size number of the tire would be that i would have to order?? I dont really want a massive stuffed look either do the 35's look clean in there? i was trying to find a pic of them in that "take a pic of your rims/tires" thread

BLACKOUTFX4 is rocking 325/55r22 and his barely rubs in reverse. Ask wandell he will have a good answer on all the specifics. Still think you should go 22's.
I have 12 in wide and 33.2in of height and I have no rubbing.

Thanks guys
Check out the 305x65x18 BFG AT's, close to 34 inches tall and may be the perfect size tire on a leveled 4x4 with stock wheels.

Stock tires on 18 rims are 275/65-18 (according to google!) which equals a 32.1 inch outside diameter and a 10.8 inch width

305/65-18 would get you to 33.6 inch outside diameter and a 12 inch width

325/65-18 would get you to 34.6 inch outside diameter and a 12.8 inch width

305/70-18 would get you to 34.8 inch outside diameter and a 12 inch width

or you could go with a 35 x 12.5

WIth a leveling kit you can fit a 35x12.50-18 (305/70-18) using the OEM wheels. They will rub the control arms slightly at full steering lock. A 325/65-18 (35x13.00) is a little too wide for the oem 7.5 inch wide wheels.

No, nothing that will damage the tire or truck. I'd go with a quality AT tire like the BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, Pro Comp Xtreme AT, Mickey Thompson ATZ or **** Cepek FC II.
