2.5"+ lower offset! That's a huge spacer! I like the stuck out tires look though. I still haven't made my mind up. Now kind of leaning towards trying to trade off my rockstar for 20" oem wheels and running 305/55/20 or 33/12.5 with 2" spacer.

Just picked up some 315/75/16 Fierce Attitude MT's on some Dick Cepek DC2 wheels for $450. Rims aren't perfect, tires are about 1/2 worn.... but it's a low-dollar way for me to see if I can squeeze the 35's on there without too much trimming, and to see just how bad the gas mileage drops. Still have my Kelly Safari ATR 285's, just in case things don't work out as planned.

Oh, and I have the rears on with the 2 1/2" spacers still.... they stick waaaay out.

I was not able to fit 325/60/20 on mine at all. And the tires were worn down all terrains. Good luck! May work if you're non z71.

The 325/60/20's are about 35.5" when new. the 315/75/16's are about 34.6".
And yes, mine's not a Z71, and I've already pinched the welds and removed the inner fender lining on the fronts.

The falkens I tried measured 34.5x12, but they were used. They weren't close to rubbing in the front, I didn't have enough clearance in the back of the wheel well. Couldn't even turn them with it sitting still.

It's the width that's the problem. If you want a 34" tire you need a tall skinny lol. My buddy has 275/65/20 on his stock 2002 Tahoe. Those are a 34" tire but only like 10.5" wide

Yep, that's what I figured. I'm going to try to fit 33/12.5/17 or 295/70/17, if they are too wide I'll go 285/75/17.

Just haven't had a chance to do anything yet. Work has been crazy and got kid #2 about to be here.

I've had 305/55/20 on my truck and no rub before so I know that size will work. The rims were 20x10 but I do not know what the offset was. If I had to guess it was like a 25- 30offset because they didn't stick out

U can see the size different a 275/60/20 is like a 33" tire. And you can see how much bigger the 305/30/26 is. It's huge lol... The 305/30/26 on a 26x10 wheel with offset 25 only rubs alittle bit in reverse and my truck sits alittle low at like 36.5-37" fender height.

All it takes to fit what you want is a hammer, Sawzall, die grinder and some time. People stuff 37's on these all the time, just how you persuade them.
