I'm looking to get a lift and I dont want to buy new wheels right now. What are the sizes of tires I can fit on my stock Rubi wheels? I want 35s. I know 35x12.50R17 will work. what else?

any tire for a 17 inch rim should work

You could run 40x12.5x17 if you wanted. I wouldn't go wider then 12.5 without going to a wider rim.

I wouldn't go over 12.5" wide but you will be fine with what you want only if you get wheel spacers as well.

I dont see running any of the said tires without spacers. I have stock 17' Rubi wheels and my 305 70 17's rub when making a full turn.
