Default What size tires should i get

I have a 2003 dodge dakota sxt. Right now it is stock lift. but in the future i am looking at putting a body lift on but it might not happen. so whats the biggest tires i should get. I was thinking 31s or 33s. But i am worrying about rubbing inside the tire well. what do you think

My truck will clear 31's stock so you should be able to also.if you want 33's you will have to lift it some way.

if you crank your torsion bars a little about an inch or so in the front you can make 32x11.50's fit. Thats what i just did about a month ago and it rarely rubs when driving but it does rub when turning in reverse but it hasn't shown on the tire or fender so its very minor.

If You plan on offroading they might rub some when your suspension flexes

I have 32 inch BFG AT TA's on my Stock Dak. Only rubs with a complete crank of the wheel. If im going in reverse with a full crank it will rub enough against the lugs that the truck wont budge.
Not complianing tho..its just something to get used to. I'll put 32s on again no question.
