Lightbulb Maximum tire size under 3" body lift

What is the maximum size of tires I can put on my stock wheels if I do a 3" body lift? I have the 6 spoke wheels that have 2 together 3 times. (Bad description, I know) I have been looking at the Goodyear Wrangler ATS 305/70/16. Any other suggestions? I would prefer a little bit meater look.

Thanks

35" tires are the biggest that will fit with a 3" body. They will probably rub a bit if you do any offroading but hey will fit. Alot of guys on this site run with that setup.

See ya, Scott

A little trim here and there and you are done and just a little rubbing if you ride hard. I have that combination so, if you want to get an idea on how they look visit my web site.

Hope this may help you in some way.

Yeah, I'll tell you what though. I just got new tires last weekend, went with the 265/75 BFG all-terrain. I was looking at the Wrangler AT/S because of the lower price, but a lot of people told me not to get them. If you want a more rugged look, gette BFG, but if you want more control on the road, the goodyears would do just fine. Also, I think the Yokohama geolanders look great.
