Default Max Tire Size

What's the max tire size we can get without a 2in lift // leveling kit.

Then with a leveling kit or 2 inch lift, how big can we go without rub?

I wanted to stretch mine out to 31's about 11 inches wide, which is something like 270/60 i believe...but i'll do 33's if they'll fit. Any help would be great.

When I had no lift, i ran 265/75 on the 16x7 factory wheels. I had no rub. It was very very close though, and technically, depending on the tire brand, not all 265/75 are the exact same size. With the 2" leveling kit you can definately do either 265/75 on the 16" rim, or 265/70 on the 17" rim, which is 32" for both types of wheel.

But like I said, I did 265/75 R16 and got away with it just fine, way before I decided to install the leveling kit.

The max with/without a kit is 32" tire = 265/75 R16 or 265/70 R17.
