1st, sorry for such a stupid question, I searched and didn't find a thread...

Anyway, 97 Expie, aftermarket 16" rim, about how big can I go?

Thanks,

TT

You can go as big a tire as you can get to fit on a 16. I run a 305/50-20 on a stock 4wd navigator. I know you can fit a 285, but is it 4wd or 2wd, and does it have air ride?

A girl at my school has 33's(285) on an expy and i'm not sure you could go any bigger. The 305's i'm running arent much bigger than a 33 but it would be a tight fit but it would probably work with no problems on a 4x4.

I could go up to 325, but for some reason (even though it doesn't even look close) the rears actually scrub the inner body on occasion.

so it sounds like a 305 might be safe? I should add that it would be a mud/snow offroad type of tire, no a bogger or anything, like ATKO or something.
