I was told from my tire guy with the open wells you can run 33x12.5s no problem just make sure to run a rim with a 4 - 4.5" backspacing and you will have no problems.

you can pretty much run 33's without any lift or fender modifications. with a leveling kit and flat fenders, you should be able to run 35's so long as they're mounted on new wheels with less back spacing or running wheel spacers.

I ran Bushwacker flats and 37's for about a week with a stubby front and rear bumper on my '12. You will have to trim the pinch seam for sure, it did rub some on bumps and I would not off road it but it looked sweet and I liked it a lot. Plus it handled great with the wide tires. I feel pretty sure you could run 35's no problem, just may have to trim the pinch seam and get some bumpstops, it would look sweet for sure.

there's nothing to it. a sawzall will make short change of the work but, i have done it with a hacksaw before too. on the rocker guard, you can just reuse the factory plug after trimming it down.

I cut 2" off of the rear of mine once reinstalled and stuck the plug back in and drilled a new hole for the little push in plastic plug

If you run Bushwhackers or Xenons, you would need to cut them too.

Or, you can run extended rear bumpstops.
Planman so to run 35's all I will need is 2" rear bump stops? Will I still need to cut the pinch seam?
