i dont think this is a repost.. i checked lol.

i have an 85 p/u with a sa , i was wondering whats the largest size tire i could run without rubbing, i dont have a lift and dont plan on getting one. another thing i was looking at was the super swamper tsl narrow, i guess it could help not rubbing on tight turns wich i use alot considering the trails i run on require cutting the wheel all the way so i dont scrape trees.

i was figuring the largest size tire i could run was around 33', does anyone think i should regear my diffs for such a slight change?... also i dont want to get a size to big or small considering tires are only about 800 bucks a set lol, so is anyone running large tires with stock suspension and a solid axle??

any comments are welcome as always so dont feel shy!!!!

 

You're right, this isn't a repost...it's the repost of all reposts.

This stuff is all over the board - I would try narrowing your search using the Advanced Search feature.

Try searching using specific keywords after narrowing it down to the '85 section - if you still don't have any luck let us know.

lol i didnt mean to cuse trouble lol. i did a quick search and everything i found was just for lifted trucks running 38's and such. ill check even closer this time and ill let you know. thanks

 

With all stock. 31x10.50 may just barely fit. We had to install a set of 1" longer than stock front shackles on a buddy's '85 with that size tire. He did have some aftermarket rims, don't recall the size/backspacing on those. 33s will rub:

My '85 w/ 3.5" lift/33x9.50s:

 

It's no trouble - I'm just glad you knew to post it in the right section.

Do some searching and reading on Roger's site and see what you can come up with.
