I've been told if your running the stock wheels you can run up to a 35" but you will have a little rubbing on the wheel well plastics that you could trim....

I run a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit, and some 305/75/17 with an after market wheel that is close to factory offset. And i swear i could prob get 35's under it!!! i have no rubbing issues with the 33's. Good luck

Actually according to this tire size calculator I have linked below your tires are 35's. 35X12 to be exact.

Thanks for the link!!! i rechecked your numbers and according to the calculator your right!!! Maybe i have 305/70/17 instead of the 305/75/17. The tires are Mickey Thompson Baha ATZ's. Dont know if they measure bigger of smaller than what they actually are.

Yep I have 295/70 on mine. You can't go any bigger without more lift. Mine are squeezed in there pretty tight, but they don't rub anywhere.
