Biggest tires

What are the biggest tires I could put on a 2nd gen with no lift? Would 32's fit?

32s will rub but just a little. 31s won't.

32's will work if you pound the fender seam up a bit. 33's will work on stock rims as long as the fender seams are pounded and there is a 1" body lift. These are minimums obviously. To compromise you can put on a 265/75r16 tire which is about 31.6" high but the same width as a 31x10.50r15. Obviously that requires a wheel change but I'm just giving you some options.

When turning and front suspension is flexing it will rub the back of the front fenders, pretty much where you and your passengers feet are. Firewall neighborhood.

Rear?

I have the PP springs with 32's and have never had any rubbing in the rear. I have had a little up front (only under full stuff). Nothing major, no damage, just a slight rub.

They might rub a lil when turning hard right/left. Like mine do. (31's) They are A/T's, also depends on width. I have 31x10.5

Not all 32" tires are created equal. Some measure out to be more like 31.25" Width and wheel backspacing has a lot to do with it to.

I run Goodyear MT/Rs 32x11.5 x15 on 15x7 JJ stock wheels with 1.5 inch bodylift and low profile bumpstops. At full steering lock and suspension stuffed I rubbed. I sliced a 3x3x4 triangle off of the plastic lining and there is no more rub.

So I guess the answer on 32s is maybe. Hope that helps.

Ok, I think I'd go with 31's if I ever get new tires, thanks for the replys.
