Default Tire question.

Hey guys, what is the biggest tire you can fit on a 1996 Dodge 1500 4x2 with a 2 1/2" leveling kit?

33" (285/75 16)
And you may have some light rubbing on the plastic wheel well thing at about 3/4 turn.

Okay, well soon I'm looking into purchasing a rough country body lift. This will solve that rub issue correct?

285/75/16 Dakota Definity M/Ts with no rub, I have had this thing flexed, offroad doing 40+ jumped railroad tracks and all and never seen or heard the first sign of a rub.

this is on rims that are an inch wider than stock but the same bs, and i have 2 1/2 lift springs in the front
