i feel like a rookie asking this question --

what would be the best tire choice with 6.5" of lift but no fender trimming ??? 33x10.5, 33x12.5, 35x12.5, something else ???

sorry for asking, but thanks for the help.

33x12.5 on a 8" rim would be my favorite but might still rub in the front depending on what lift you have. I think.

RCP Phx, your sounds hyper flexy, mine wasent that flexy. I did do some trimming though, mostly in the rear of the front fenders. I had 3" springs and 4" spacers with the black diamond lcas that came with the 3" kit. Back when I was young.

This is my blunt opinion.

if you don't need to trim, you don't need anything bigger than 30s

If you run 6.5 inches of lift you can run 32x11.50 without rubbing with the right amount of backspacing.

RCP Phx, are you running extended bumpstops? With bumpstop extentions, 33's should fit

i'm at 6.5 with 33x12.50s and no rubbing, no flares either though.
