Biggest Tires?

[brokekid]

Sup guys, I recently installed a PA 3in. body lift on my truck and was wondering if yall had some suggestions on what was the biggest tire I could run on it with the BL and a 2.5in leveling kit without major rubbing. Before the BL I was running 33" mud grapplers with the 17" stockers. It now has 20x10 diamos with an -11mm offset but I'm not too sure if 35s will be ok. I just thought I'd post this before spending any money and hopefully get some advice. Thanks for yalls help!

You didnt buy those wheels yet did you?

 

You're not going to be able to fit much at all with those on there...

Lol yea I already did. Saw them on craigslist for $500 so I got them. I dont know much about wheels and tires so I thought they would be perfect because of the offset, but I guess not. That blows!

Sell them for $600.

 

Buy some 20x9 wheels with +18mm offset.

 

Then you can run 305/55/20s without much trouble.

Thanks for the advice. Ill have to wait till I see some used ones on craigslist or ebay though. Until then I'ma be stuck with my training wheels..lol..they have 285/50 tires and look goofy as hell. Why can't I get some bigger tires for those? Will they rub real bad?

[Matt_]

They'll rub bad and stick out of the fenders a good 2".

Dang bro you really know everything..lol..I see your sig. all over this site. Thanks for the help I appreciate it. Would some trimming help a bit cause I personally like the tires to stick out a bit. Or would you know how much more of a lift I would need to clear 35s? or 33s?

[Matt_]

what size tires are on them now?

[brokekid]

Right now I'm running 285/50's on it.

The diamos dont have any tires on them? If so, i'd mount them up and see what it looks like and make your decision from there. Or throw the 285/50s on it (even though 285 is too thin of a tire for a 10" wide wheel), it'll give you an idea of what you can (or cant) fit.

 

That's just a horrible wheel for the truck... you're not going to be able to run much of anything without trimming.

I agree with Matt, but regardless of the wheel I would keep the tire in the range of a 33x12.50. Thats the perfect size tire for that setup.

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'm going to stick to 33s and hopefully they won't rub. I've seen Lifted_GMC's pics on here running 35's with the same set up as mine on gunner 6's with some big time neg. offset but I'm not sure if he has real bad rubbing issues. I'll just play it safe with 33s.
