Does anyone know what is the largest tire size that will fit on a 4x4 MC without rubbing? I

Thanks

 

I have 305x70x17 right now with no problem the tire are Maxxis Bighorns and actually come out to a 34 inch tire - when I level the front end I will be able to clear 35's no problem.

Hope this helps

 

35" Tires, If you install the 2" Leveling Kit in the front. You could fit 35" tires with out the leveling kit if you got the PERFECT backspacing, and the tires wern't too wide. But the only way you can do that is if you stick with the OEM wheels, Since all aftermarket wheels don't have enough backspacing.

I've spent months looking! The closest I've found is a +25 backspacing.

yea level it out if you want 35's... that is the safest route and its not even that expensive... thachad... what backspacing are you looking for and where did you get that info?

 

I want Factory Backspacing, I don't want the tires outside of the wheel well's, and I don't want the added cost of having to put on Flairs.

From what I understand Factory Backspacing is 6.5", The most i've found is a 20x9 wheel with +25 offset, which is like 5.98" backspacing.

The owner of the Local Truck Shop has a 2500 CTD (Same frame/drivtrain as the MegaCab) Leveled and has 22x9.5 wheels, and 35" tires, The wheels are either 5" or 5.75" backspacing, Not sure which, but they stick out a good 3-4" out of the wheel wells, and said the front drivers side fender rubbed, he bent it out just slightly and has no more rub.

Youcanfind 5 & 6 lug wheels in any size with almost any amount of backspacing, but 8 Lug wheels are almost all negative backspacing, None of them are factory or more backspacing, and very limited are 5.75 or more backspacing. Atleast From what I've been able to find in the last 6 months of looking..

well you are also putting on a tire that is 12.5 inches wide instead of 10.5..... thats gonna be part of the problem....so there really isnt a way to tuck that wide of a tire underneath the truck espicially in the front without a little bit sticking out... too much backspacing and you will be rubbing in the front... i am hearing a lot of guys saying they are running anything from 4 to 6 inches of backspacing... just remember this for backspacing- Backspacing is the space from the part of your rim that bolts to your axle to the edge of the part of the rim that is closest to your frame - the inside of the rim.

So the more backspacing you have the further they stick out and the less they rub and vice versa

 

I have the leveling kit and 35x12.5x17 on the Factory wheels. I have no problems even with a load on.

Hope this helps ya.
