Default How big of tire can I go with??

I have an 03 that I am about to crank the Tbars on, and I am wanting to put some bigger tires on it. I really like the BF goodrich A/T's, but want sure how big I could go

You should be able to squeeze in 33's with no problems.

I Had 285/75R17D BFG T/A KO's With My Torsions Barley Turned.

And 325/60R18D Terra Nitto Grapplers With Them "Cranked"

And Now, Toyo A/T 285/75R18E Open Country's With New Torsion Keys

If your using your stock wheels with a torsion bar crank you can get 35x12.5's on with no problems. That would be the 315/70/17 in the BFG A/T.

If all you want to do is a tb crank, 33's would be perfect. There are a lot of guys putting 35's on but, if you want to keep your mileage and power, 295/70/17's or 33x12's would be the better way to go.

I really don't think they looked small at all, they fit in there real nice.
