4wd tire clearance

I`d like to see(hear)some different lift/wheel/tire combinations and how they clear w/o any trimming.Same size tires` shaping varies from type to type.I like the minimum lift for a given tire size.Unless I`m building it for extreme use.I`m looking to run 35"tires on 10"rims under a K20 that`ll sometimes haul a lo-pro slide-in 8`floor(not heavy).I`m not going for the big travel approach.

4" lift should be enough to clear 35's on a K20. My suburban is a K10 with 6" lift and 315/75/16's(35's) on 10" wide rims and I have 36-38" of flex which is alot, and I just trimmed off my lower front fender tips for clearance off road, not for tires. And I only rub on the rear front fender about 4" up on the outer edge at full stuff and slight turning. The back of a suburban is different for the pickup beds and I had to trim a little back there and still rub hard(cause the suburban body). The pickup beds shouldn't have a problem.
