Default 34 inch tires on stock rims?
Looking at getting 34 inch Maxxis Bighorn tires on stock rims and a 2.5 lift. Do I need wheel spacers?

Alright thanks, they are actually 305/70/17 tires but I'm putting them on stock rims until Christmas. 2.5 lift enough?

yes..you most likely will have to trim your pinch seam but other than that you should be fine..

I'm running my BFG 35in on the MOAB OEM rims with the standard Spidertrax spacers. No problems at all.
