Far as I've read round here, on your truck you can fit 32's without rubbing, though you may get a little bit of contact during a har turn (parking lot tight turns, etc..) I think 33's fit, but the rubbing gets a little more incessant.

I may be a little off.. mebbe we need to post some stickies round here with Suspension/Tire info?

I'm trying to figure the same thing. Came up with 31-10.50. 265/75 will get you less than 1/2 inch +/- depending on 15 or 16 wheels.

the site gives a letter key that you use when you click the link to the right.
Hope it helps.

Now, is there reasonable alternative to the steel wheels and hubcaps? Spokes maybe?

Thanks, Dave
