I think 11.50's are as wide as you can go if you have the 7.5''-width rim.

You should be able to run a 32 or 33x11.5 tire on a stock 4x4 with factory rims.

Somebody please correct me!

I have had 17 in wide ground hawgs on 15x8 inch wheels before.Kind of cups the tires but it can be done.You can pretty much put as wide a tire on a wheel that you want.It's just hard to put that wide a tire on that narrow of a wheel without a lot of ether.Also not recommended so I would say put no wider than a 12.50 on a 7.5 in wide wheel.

are you talking about the biggest (wide) or biggest (tall). on the rims i know people that have 38x10.5r15 on their factory rims since the width still permits it.
