I've got 35 12.50 17 DCII on my truck with no lift. Does rub at full turn, but hardly ever turn that hard.

I had 315/75 r17's with an aftermarket wheel that had stupid backspaceing. So they stuck out too far. But I baaaaarely rubbed at full turn. They were worn mud tires though.

They did fill the wheel wells nicely and she didn't wrap out at freeway speeds like she does with the stock sized tires. Im going back to 35's as soon as money permits and after I get my Kore HP suspension kit (front and rear) I may even look at 37's. Well see.

Here she is with the 35's hooked up to my lifted toy hauler.

The 285 and 295 are the widths of the tire in Milimeters. The second number is the tire height. Its the percentage of the tire width.

you can get a 285/75r17 that is 34.1 tall, has no clearance problems and is available in an E/10 rated tire.

35x12.5 on stock rims will eat the mud flaps (had to cut and heat up and bent them to work) on my Kore lifted 03 and will rub the control arms at full lock

I'm on my 2nd set of 315/70-17's (soon to be 3rd set). The only rubbing I've had is on the control arms at full lock. They have never touched fenders or mud flaps. I'm running the stock chrome wheels also.
