You'd be surprised. I have 265/70/16 on my truck, and they fit pretty well. Really need to put V8 springs on mine though, at full stuff the fenders chop the tires. Guys at firestone looked at me funny when I came in w/ a flat because both front tires have a quarter inch of rubber missing on the outsides. They thought my toe was massively in or something.
