Re: 35's with 2 1/2" lift.

These are Toyo MT's which have a flotation size of 34.5"x12.9" mounted on American Eagle Mohave 16x8's with 4 1/2" backspace. As you know not all 315's are going to be quite this wide but even so you may have issues if you can't tuck em in further to keep regulators off your tail. Since this picture I have installed a top mounted overload spring and 1" block in the rear to level the truck out. It looks and holds a load better.

On a personal note I don't really like my set up for what I do with it, too wide of a tire and too much contact patch for the weight of the vehicle and how I use it. I really like the 255/85's on narrow wheels but I prefer a tad taller tire just not the width that usually comes with it. I can find 35's in narrower widths but I would have to jump up to an 18" rim and I'm not keen on dropping the $ for bigger rims right now. A true 35"x10.50" on a 16" wheel is what I'm really after but the pickings are slim again unless I jump up in rim size.
