2wd - 31/10.5
4wd - 32/11.5

May see some minor rubbing on the radius arm at full turn, but not a big deal.

I have 31x10.5 on a stock 95 4x4 ORD, stock alum. rims, no problems, and look good. Trying to find a good pressure, 35 too soft, 40 a bit hard, but much better control.

The 32/11.5s will rub if they're on the stock rims. Aftermarket rims may have enough backspacing to prevent it. I have skyjacker radius arms that are bent in to give more tire clearance and those 32s still rub. My 35s rub pretty bad after I put the 393/zf in. I lost about an inch in my front lift because those parts are heavier then the 302/m5 i had before. I rub the fender and the radius arm semi-bad now. It's unacceptable to me now but i can't fix it as of yet. I have other things to deal with.
