Alright so I'm getting a raptor soon! I love how the raptor looks stock! But I love how people make them look more aggressive by adding fenders, shox, and also bigger tires. Sadly I don't have all the money to get all the fancy shox and fenders but I want to still make it look aggressive. So I'm going to change the tires. What's would be a good tire that looks mean but works well. I also don't want it to rub and take off my fender if I go off roading. Please help!

Stock wheel offset with most 35" tires will work well, even full compressed. Pick a tread that you like and will serve your area and habits well. Many tires out there will look meatier than the stock BFG ATs. Even the AT2s look much better from the side. Some brands' 35" tires are a little bigger in diameter and can potentially rub while turning and compressing, but nothing too bad.

If you go aftermarket wheels, you'll have a wider stance, but also more likelihood of rubbing, particularly on full compression, or turning, and especially both. Combine new wheels and tires and it's compounded.

Just to give an idea or example of tire size and fitment.. I'm running 37" BFGoodrich Baja T/A and glassworx 2" rise 2" flare and to make sure I dont rub I put shocks at mid perch. you should be able to fit and not rub with stock fenders but when offroading you might rub, which is why I took the safe route and went with aftermarket fenders.

39's on bottom perch should be alright.

You can get some cheap icons with an extra top mount on them too I'm sure

Don't listen to this bozo, all bad advice probably cause you didn't choose to even look at the tire section for a sticky or use the search feature. Plus its someone who can't let go of some stupid ass comment that @jackrook said about ICON shocks and now the joke lives on forever.....

Welcome, and take your time selecting wheels and tires. You're going to have them for several years so consider that before you buy the first thing that looks cool, but probably won't end up being what you actually need.
