| welcome aboard. i would go with what ryan said. get the bigger tires after you put a lift on it. Budget boost are the cheapest way and all you need is 2.5 and you can fit 35's | |

| with stock wheels, your looking at 32"x11.50s max without rubbing. i had 285/70r17s (32.5 x 11.3) and i had rubbing on the sway bar at full lock. you'd need lift and wheel spacers for anything larger than stock tires | |

| Like Ryan said- get the lift first. If you do tires first, then you'll turn around and do a lift. Then you'll want bigger tires. Thus you'll have wasted the money spent on tires the first time around. Skip the process- lift first.
And if you say "I don't want/need a lift"... Well, we have all heard that numerous times LOL And every single time, that person ended up lifting within a year of saying that. | |

| All good advice given, definitely do a small lift if anything and then tires. | |

| damn, that was quick  get 4.5" of backspacing on the wheels. bite the bullet now & get 35s now, or regret it for 2-4 months until you can't take it anymore and trade in or sell your smaller tires at a huge loss just to get the 35s later. | |
