Anyone running this size tire on there truck? Trying to get an idea what it looks like on there. I'm pretty sure this is the biggest tire I can go with a body lift and leveling kit. The total overall height of the tire is 31.9, I would like to go to a 60 but that's going to rub and is a total of 33 inches. Is it possible without having to remove my entire wheel well to get 33s in there or no. Im more interested in a tire that I'm not going to have to remove a ton of plastic to not make it rub. But i also want a tire that doesn't look funny with a body lift. I'm not interested in switching rims either. Any input would be great

I just put a set of 33s on my truck. Didnt have to trim all the plastic away. but enough to call it a trim job. cant even see the trimming from the side of the truck. before that i had 31s (265-75-16) and they just barely touched the plastic at full turn. after about 2 mins in the parking lot doing circles the rubbing went away. I dont have a body lift but i DO have leveling spacer.

if rear part you mean rear of the front fender. than yea. more trimming was involved there than the front bumper area. have to slice up the inside of the mud flap and i had to grind about 1/4" off the actual metal

I think 32" tires would look good with the body lift and leveling kit. You will definately have to trim a bit with 33's. No way around it.
