Exclamation tires

Does anyone know how big of tires i can get without getting a lift on an 87 Bronco 2, also would it be safe (not tip)? How much would the price range be or should it be?

Depends in part on how much rubbing you can tolerate. I'm running 235/75R15, and they just don't rub. Any bigger, and they would rub under certain conditions. Some have been satisfied with 30/9.50 and I suspect there might be a few that get away with 31/10.50.

Now do having those size of tires have any potential of tipping on a normal turns in the roads at lets say 50 miles an hour?

Note that those size tires are not only taller than stock, they are also wider than stock. It's not scientifically determined, but I don't think simply putting a larger tire on will significantly change the "tippiness" of the truck.

This is true as the 30/9.50 are the biggest you can truly get away with without trimming the fenders..

Do a little Fender Trimming though, and those 31/10.50's will fit no prob, and will actually "help" with what little rollover chance there is by giving you a wider "stance"..
