That would depend on the profile of the tire. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? The factory put 20's on the trucks, so you can at least go that big.

I got 22" in my truck and have no problems. But your ride will be somewhat affected by the big rim/tire combination. I noticed a big difference for the worst. Your truck will feel heavy over bumps due to the increased sprung weight on all 4 corners. Noticed the most when I got over railroad tracks especially if they run diagonal from the road. But the truck look so much better. A little trade off I think.

Depends on the tire.. you can clear a 35 x 12.50 on a stock rim (4x4) so as long as the new rim has the same backspacing and width similar to a stock rim you can as big as you want with the right tire.
