35s on stock or aftermarket wheels? what should i do
i will be upgrading to 35 inch toyo mt's fairly soon but i want some opinions...I can either put them on my call of duty edition wheels (dark grey moabs) or i want 17 inch XD addicts..only thing i don't like about the addicts is its more of a mall crawler type wheel. Im a bit on a budget of 2000$ for wheels and tires and maybe you guys could give me some advice. Thanks!

You will need wheel spacers with the stock wheels. The backspace is over 6". The XD addicts I believe have 4.5" BS so you won't need spacers. I went back and forth between the XD Addicts and the ProComp 7069. Went with the PC after seeing the XD Addict in person. For the price they are really cheap looking. Those rivet accents on the rim are plastic and break off and really just look cheap. The 7069 I went with have a 4.75 BS and I have no rubbing running a 35" GY Duratrac.

I was in the same spot as you and here is how I decided. I was getting 35's and had 17 inch stock rubi wheels. I would have had to buy spacers. I found that if I went from 17 inch wheels down to 16's, the tires were that much cheaper that I was practically getting free aftermarket wheels because the smaller the wheel size, the cheaper the tire.
Then I sold my stock wheels and made another 300 hundred or so to go towards the tires, plus didnt have to spend 200 on spacers, so basically I made 300, plus saved 600 for a total of 900 dollars made/saved. Seemed like a no brainer to me using my math lol. That is if your willing to go down to 16'' wheels.

I am doing stockers as well. If you some day upgrade to 37s you are possibly back in the same boat "new rims new tires". Since you already have spacers, you can always get wheels at a later time, no need to get them now.
