If you have to cut metal, you need a sawzall, if you just have to trim plastics, it's just some sort of scissors or blade to so it

What brand are you goin to go with? Some tires run smaller than the stated size. 3" torsion key lift and 3" body lift should do the trick if keepin the stock wheels. Although I don't know exactly how much you'd have to trim, if any honestly. You'll have to test em out and see where you need to trim.

I have no clue what brand, at this point it is most likely going to be the cheapest ones i can find. any suggestions there? I don't know where to go to look for cheap but good tires. But my dad is leery of eBay so that is not on the list.

Treaddepot.com is a good place. And as for brands, there's tons of em. Nitto, toyo, Goodyear, mickey thompson and BFG are the bigger ones. Do you want an all terrain or mud tire?

I will be doing quite a bit of highway and street driving, but they will also definitely get thier fair share of off-roading

Ok, i found a set of tires that i like the looks of and they are considerably cheap and the ratings and reviews are all positive. If i gave you these could you tell me what size i would need to get to fit and look good with what i am wanting to do?
