Default Biggest Tire Size?

I've got the 2" TM Level kit on, what are the biggest wheels I can fit under my truck? Im thinking 31"s but id like 33"s if possible. Anyone know?

Since 265/70/16 (stock size) are basically 31" tall I would think you culd definetly go bigger than that with a 2" lift.

His tires are more than likely stock 245/70/16...

But Idk, I'd assume you could fit 33s in there...

I dont think your going to fit 33" without alot of rubbing. I have 265/75, which is a tiny bit smaller then 32" tire, and I also have the TM 2" kit with 1" blocks in the rear, and they dont rub, but they JUST fit.

Before I had the lift, the 265/75's rubbed a tad. I doubt 33" will fit.

One of the guys on here has the TM kit, AND a 3" body lift, and he still had big rubbing issues with 33" tires, and thats a total of 5" of lift.

265/75 is the max with the setup you have.

There should be a sticky called "Tire Size" that lists:

Max tire size with stock.
Max tire size with leveling kit.
Max tire size with 3" body lift.
Max tire size with 3" body lift AND leveling kit.

Maybe even break it down by specific tire size for 17" AND 18" rims (the two stock options).

And perhaps someday...

Max tire size with suspension lift...

Nah, if you "slam" your truck then it's usually just an indicator that you got confused at the dealership and accidentally bought a truck instead of a car. You know, they had cars with beds, perhaps slammers really want an El Camino.... LOL j/k
