Biggest Tire Size without Lift?

I'm looking into getting some 19.5 wheels and tires, but I don't want to put a lift on. The size tire I'd like is 285/70/19.5. Will they fit without a lift? Will they rub when turning?

See my sig for truck info...

There's guys here running 315/70/17 that are 35" tall, no lift. The 285/70/19.5 is a 35" tall tire also but isn't as wide, so it should fit no problem. I've seen one guy here even running 37's without a lift but I think he has a little rub.

Thanks t-boe. I guess it's a go once I find the right wheels. I'm leaning towards the Rickson Eliminators, but they are pretty expensive. Any ideas on cheaper aluminum wheels?

Other than Rickson there's Vision wheels and Brentz wheels. Rickson sells Vision on their website, but I've heard that Discount tire sells them cheaper. If you do a search on "Rickson wheels" there was a thread about it.

Thanks, I looked them up. It looks like there isn't much of a selection as far as styles go. Brentz Wheels has one style for the SRW, the same with Vision Wheels, and Rickson Truck has two besides the Visions. I didn't see any prices for the other two companies, so I guess I'll have to do a little more work to see which way I'll go.

Thanks for the info.

Rick
