What is the biggest tire that can be run effectively?

I would think 315's, thats what i ran for a while in my old truck with a lil rub.

I am running a 35x12.50 on a 17x9 wheel and no rub

315's on stock wheels never hit even off roading.

Im running H2 wheels and my 315's dont rub but wanted to know if anyone was using a tire bigger than that with just the leveling kit.

i have heard of guys running 36 12.50 16.5 but most people will only go up to 315s with a levaling kit.

i think the general concensus is 315's withe leveling kit. there was a guy on here though that put military 38" michelins on his that were like 38x11.00x16. tall but narrow. gonna be hard to find something tall and narrow like that at a tire shop though. remember, backspacing is key to tire fitment on these trucks. i run 16x8's with 5" backspacing and i think that is perfect and i belive the h2 wheels are close in width and backspacing if not the same. the guy did have to do some trimming, i'll see if i can find the post.

i think the truck is sick!! i would love to have that tire size on mine because the 4:10 gears are on the highway.

so i have a 99 with a leveling kit, debating running, 305/70-16 but would like to run 315/75-16s if they would fit. i just have a set of 16" alcoa chassic wheels. sorry for reserecting this old post, but at least i was searching instead of just starting a new thread

I have a 99 with a leveling kit and 315s. The don't rub unless I'm at full turn and hit an incline like a hill or curb at a decent speed, and when they do rub it's not much at all.

I have 2" coils up front with 315/75-16's, they did rub on the control arms so I installed tubular arms, problem fixed but rpm's still too high with 4.10's on the highway so 305/85-16's (36.4/11.50-16) Buckshot Mudders on the way.

im leveled 2 inches up front with 305/70/16's and no rubbing what so ever. a good buddy of mine has 315 mtr's on the same truck with only minor rubbing. i think ill deal with the rubbing and pick up a set of 315's next time around

I have a 2" leveling kit and im running 37x12.5x16.5's on mine with no rubbing. It really depends on the backspacing of the wheel you use as to how big you can go. Because everyone told me i couldnt do it, that i would need a lift, but i proved em wrong.
