I went ahead and had 285/75R18 (35x11.5") Toyo Open Country MT's mounted on my OE wheels with 0" of lift. They're a tight fit but they DO clear.......barely.
I get some rubbing at steering lock on flat ground, so it's all for show until I get the lift springs on it....and I have to get new front brake lines and a front locker line made and lengthen the wheel sensor wires before I can do that. The lines are all long enough at rest, but I don't want to rip anything loose at full droop.
This should be pretty close to what it will look like after I get the lift springs on it.

Thanks man. Let me know when you're back on the road. I'm pretty much street-bound until I get my lift done, but that won't be too much longer.
