What size tire to you have on your 2 wheel drive screw?

I have a 2001 Screw and I like the all terrain tire look. Any one know what the largest all terrain tire you can put on stock wheels? One place tells me that 265/75r16 and another tells me 285/70r16. I don't have a lift kit and have no desire to get one. Just want the truck to look beefy. Let me know what you have. Thanks guys.

The 265's put your overall diameter at 31.645 inches. The 285's put the overall diameter at 31.708. Therefore, I believe both of these are correct. It all depends on your preference on wider tires. The 285's have more tread contacting the road. I have read that any more than these numbers would get too close to the wheel wells for comfort. Now it all comes down to your preference.

Thanks, I thought this was going to be the first time that everyone was going to be speachless. I would like the 285's, I wonder if you can get this in a 70 series to make sure the height will fit. I will do some research. The heights you mentioned above, is that on the series (75/70) that I mentioned above? Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I took the exact numbers you had to do the calculations.
