I wanna install bigger and wider tires on my truck. I was just wondering what sizes would work without rubbing. Im running stock 255/75r16s right now. so far the only sizes i could fine that have a wider footprint are 32in and above. Will 32s or 33s fit on the truck without rubbing? Im mounting on a 16in rim.


And yes i did read the tire spec in the tech library, i just wanna talk to actual people lol

265/75R16's will fit on your truck since it's at stock height.

if you have a leveling kit on your truck (like the title says) you can go with 285/75/16s and it might only rub at full lock hitting a dip or pulling up into a driveway, etc. I lifted my front end 2 inches and with 33s on wider wheels it rubbed on only one side on just a small piece of plastic, so i did VERY light trimming to the inside of the flares. You should be fine if you're keeping the stock wheels on. It's a good look.

I ran 285/75R16's on my truck on it's stock wheels with a small torsion crank. Rubbed only at full left crank.

I also ran 265/75R16's on it with stock wheels and no rub what so ever. I then ALSO ran 32x11.50R15's w/o any issues.



What this supposed "leveling kit" ?
