What size tires

[Tracto-man]

I'm wanting to put some bigger (taller) tires on my 1998 Chevy k1500 4x4 extended cab short bed with a 3 inch body lift.

 

Currently running on bald 265/75r16's. I believe this is 31 1/2" diameter?  I'd like to run 33"s or maybe even 35"s, what tire number/size would that be though? Something like 265/85r16?

 

Also, anyone have a truck set up like this? How big a tire can you fit on it without running into problems?

 

I'm hoping to just find cheaper used tires on Craigslist or something, can't really afford new ones.

You can probably clear 285/75/16 and perhaps 305/70/16. I think both are close to 33" with the 305 being wider of course. The offset of your wheels need to be factored in for clearance.

A 265/85R16 is nearly a 34 inch tire.  But i would see running 33 with no trimming as long as they wernt crazy wide.  A 35 might require some trimming.
