yet another tire size question
Sorry guys I know this has been covered several times before. My searches have come up empty though. I will be installing a leveling kit next weekend and I have my new 18's in the garage. What is the biggest tire I can fit without having to modifying the bumper or fender liner?

from what I have read you can fit a 35" tire on their but might have some rubbing going on when you have the wheel turned all the way left or right from the tire to the leaf spring. On the back no problem. A 33" may be the way to go.

I think 33" is about the limit, but maybe more with leveling. Stock is 31", I think. I was levelled (front add-a-leaf), and had 285's (33" OD) on the stock wheels with no rubbing. Pulled the leaf, and still have no rubbing lock to lock. Your 18"s might be a different story depending on what offset they have. I've seen some wheels with offsets to allow for larger tires on stock or slightly lifted rigs.

I have the leveling kit and 350 blocks as well. I was wondering if I could go up to 315's on my 20's. My back spacing is prob different though. I might also try 295/60/20 for a little more height and less width.
