Some 35x12.50's will fit with only minor rubbing on the control arms at full steering lock. I say some because some 35x12.50 MT's with aggressive sidewall lugs will touch the upper control arm/ball joint constantly on some trucks. I'd go with something slightly smaller like a 285/65-20 (35x11.50).

I'd go with a quality all terrian tire like the BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, Pro Comp Xtreme AT, **** Cepek FC II, or Mickey Thompson ATZ.

I have 35x 12.50 and only minimal to no rubbing. It depends on the backspacing and offset of the wheel. I've got the procomp xtreme at and love the look. 40k milage warranty too.

Hey
Go to treadepot.com and check out their prices on Toyo's. They do the open Country A/T and the Mud terrain as well

I just ran out to the parking lot and took some pics of my tires. Needed a break from work anyway. Look in my gallery.
