Well, I've had the 265/75R16's on for a little while, and they are starting to look rather small. No offence to those with the 265/75R16's. I was wondering, with a 3 inch body lift, do you think it would be possible to fit Mickey Thompson Baja Belted 34x11.5R16's on? I'd want to get the most bang for the buck as far as what would fit, and these seem like a good size. I'd imagine there may have to be some triming too. What are your thoughts?

Hey Tim,
I have a 2" body lift and a 4" suspension lift and my 33's rub against my fender flares. I would not think you would be able to fit 34's with just a 3" body lift without a little cutting. My .02
 






i have a 3 inch body and the torsion twist on mine and i think that the 34 1150 would fit on stock rims BUT they would look like pizza cutters. i think the tires would look too tall and skinny on your X also very tippy. go with a 33 1250 instead it will look better in my opinion.

rims do you suggest? I have American Racing 15" x 8.5 Would I have to buy new rims to fit a 34" x 12.5 tire?

I would go for it man. Just do the 3 inch body lift, and do the shackles, and TT. Trim a little if it needs it.
