I currently run LT265/75R16 tires on my 2 wheel drive.
I installed a 1.5" front leveling kit. What size (taller)
tire can I fit to fill up the wheel wells without rubbing ?
I don't need to go wider ,just taller so I can use my
factory alloy rims.

 

I would probably say 255/85/16 or 285/75/16. The 285's look better in my opinion and come in a much better selection than the 255's. my.02. cumminsboy

 

I just put on General Grabber A/T 2's 295/75/16 no problems at all....they are taller than the 285's and taller and narrower than the 305's:

Very happy so far....

 

It is my understanding that you can get 315/75's on there with a leveling kit, and stock rims. They'll rub the tracking arms on the inside a little in sharp turns though. I have a set now, and as soon as I modify my 99 truck to take these 2001 alloy rims, I'll take a picture to show you.

315s on stock rims are pretty narrow and they should rub the inside pretty bad in parking situations.

I had 295s on my stock rim and they rubbed pretty bad. When they wore out I put 305s on new 16x8 rims and they don't touch at all. I do have 2" lift on mine though.

 

Hey guys, he is 2wd like me. I am running 315/75/16 with a little rub on the plastic wheel liner, at full steer, and a 2 1/2" lift in the front.

 

Are you on the stock rims though?

 

If on stock rims,

285-295, should do ok, specially on a 4x2, 305 and 315 will rubb up on sharp turns...

dieselcamper and firestorm,

Where did you guys get your leveling kits from? I've been thinking of leveling out my truck(2wd) also.

 

Yes I am on the stock alloy wheels, and I got the spacers from the local 4x4 shop for $90.

 

Got my spacers from J.C Whitney. Daystars , about $75.00

I had Goodyear 285/75 bofore I jumped to the 315's. They were pretty good, but I wanted more.
