Default another tire size question

So this is another one of them questions but

I was wondering what size tire you guys think would fit under a truck with 5 inch suspension and 3 inch body lift??

Not woried about what you guys think of axles or gears because i plan on getting one ton axles soon and gears. just wanting to know what would fit without much trimming??

Says the guy with little baby tires

I believe its 35's with a 5" lift. That being said yeah probably around 37-40's.


That would be sick. Pics are a must

35's through 37's should fit, but that may depend on your lift and wheel backspacing. You'd probably want some type of longer arm suspension that will insure your axle is centered in the wheelwell at average loaded heigth. Something like a Fabtech suspension.

i think im going to get 40s or try at least.

i dont know what i should do on rims, I have 20 inch rims that are black and machined and i have 12.5 wide tires on them. If i was to go to 40s i would probably want 13.5 wide but would 13.5 wide tires fit on 12.5 wide rim????

Also do you guys think a flashy 20 inch rim with 40s would look cool or not so much do you think it would be to much tire for the rim.

I get looks all the time with the 35s mounted on them but what about 40s????

Hmmm 20's with 44's would make for a huge combo. I wonder if that would fit ok

13.5's will fit your rims with no problem. I think the 40's on 20's should look sweet but that's just my opinion.
