Need Help deciding what to do!!

Ok so i leveled my 07 screw lariat and the tires that came on the truck are practically bald. I dont have the money to buy new wheels with the tires so the tires will be going on the stock 17's 18's?(Dont know which) im pretty much 100% on 33" Toyo Open Country M/T but i dont want to spend all that money and feel that they are too small. Can 35's fit? any help is greatly appreciated for a poor military guys spending! haha Thanks!!

Your wheels are 18"s (standard on Lariats) There was a 20" option too.

There have been a few people on here that have fit 35's on stock wheels. But you need to find the right tire something narrow and w/o side lugs that will rub. Try looking in the BFG all-terrains there narrower than most tires and would probably rub the least. Here are some trucks with 35's and leveling kits. Also most people add add a leafs or go with a 3" block costing about $100 for either option.

Correct, depending on tire choice you may or may not have rubbing issues at full lock. I have talked to some members and they have BFG KM2 35x12.50x18 and they say they do not rub. I believe you can get an ~35 in a 11.50.

Also a 33" will not look too small and are cheaper for the budget. Some people have regrets for not going bigger though as you can run 35's.

I think with the Toyo 35's they will rub at full lock on you, and the 33" will not. If you know you want Toyo's decide if you want rubbing or not, thats what you have to sacrifice with the 35's. If you are willing to go to another brand you can get 35s with no rubbing.

You can also run a 34" tire as BFG all terrains come in a 18" wheel
