How Does This Setup Handle At Hwy Speeds? I chose the MTZs seems to be a good choice for low noise on the pavement..

The OEM 17" wheels have sufficient back-spacing to rock 35s? That's good to know. Does anyone know if the stock wheels on my "X" are sufficient enough to roll some LT315/75R16s (approximately 34.6")?

You will need at least a 1" spacer for 35" tire as almost all are going to be 12-12.5" wide.

This is definitely true. You will need spacers because of the width, especially in the back.
