I think those tires measure low 34 inch. That's what I've gathered on this forum, depending on what PSI you run.

subbed. looking into 35's and the least lift possible (want to avoid replacing the front DS). looking at 1" leveling or 2.5" BB. I do not rock climb but do a good bit off off roading, trail riding and mudding. Not a whole lot of articulation needed just when riding on edges of mud buggy grooves. Also do not plan to get rid of or cut the stock fender flares.

Suggestions?

No need to replace the driveshaft with a 2.5" lift, and it is a terrific sized lift with 35s for both daily driving and all off-roading.

Can't say I've seen this exact combo, but running flat flares on anything smaller than a true 35x12.50 will cause the tires to look tiny. Flat flares and over +3" of lift starts to make even 35x12.50's look small. Not saying it would look bad, but if you ever wanted to add a lift too, you may regret it after the install.

The only thing that will happen is your air dam will rub when you turn. It is easy to trim so it doesn't rub. I have 315/70-17 tires, no lift and bushwhackers and I'm good.

I'll be joining the club by the end of the week, just ordered from Discount Tire Direct 17x9's -12mm offset with 315-70-17 Duratracs. I only plan to trim front fenders and front bumper, front spacer. Most of my wheeling is on the sand.
