What are the biggest tires I can run?
[Noel Van Hook] Height: Pure stock with biggest you can fit is 27″. Mickey Thompson and Interco both make nice 27×9.5 tires that will fit stock no problem. A 215x75R15 will fit also.

With a 1″ shackle lift (2″ longer shackles) and minor trimming on the front bumper you can fit 29″ tires. This includes 235/75R15 tires. Trimming is easy. It can be done with a hacksaw, and is done on the inside of the bumper, so it doesn’t show. The shackle lift is easy too, and 1″ is small enough that the stock shocks will work. Width: Pure stock the widest you can go is 9.5″. Any wider and you rub the bumper when turning the wheel. With minor bumper trimming (see above) you can go to 10.5″. You can use standard 3.5″ backspacing and you’ll still clear the springs at full turn. What I have: I run 29×10.5 swampers on 15×7 wheels, standard backsp
