Default Wheels and tires with 3.5" lift

I'm having trouble deciding what wheels will go best. I have got the 3.5 series II rough country lift, and I want to put 18x10 wheels with 35" nitto trail grapplers. I have heard that the 18x10 stick out a good bit from the fenders but I can't run 18x9. Is this true or just a myth? What is the best wheel to run with this? Thanks!

You can run any width you want. You just need to keep your backspacing close to 4.5". With a 10" wide rim thats about 25mm offset depending on how the rim company gives BS info.

i upgraded to 37's and i went with the pro comp series 98, the back spacing was either 4.25 or 4.5 i can't remember...

they are 9" wide with 12.5" Goodyear MTR/K's

i liked that rim the best because it's available in all black and both a glossy black and a true flat black, i really wanted flat black

kinda going with a red and black theme

Why 18's instead of 17's?
