The largest combo you can generally fit is a 305/70-16 (33x12.50) on a 16x10 inch rim. This will require trimming of the front bumper's lower plastic valance and/or cranking up the torsion bars. I have talked to a few people that have mounted 315/75-16 (35x12.50) on a stock 4x4 by using the stock rims or an 8 inch wide rim. It will require that you trim as well as crank up the torsion bars. While they will probably fit fine for street driving, I would have to beleive that 35's would rub during off-roading.

Hi There Mark. As I understand it the biggest you can go is 35 inches(With a lot of liberal trimming) but you will rub on suspension/steering components under even the mildest of flex. I have 285/75/16's on my stock height 97 4X4 and never rubbed. These tires are essentially 33-11-16 They fit well on the stock rim and look great in the wheelwell. Check around some more though....some guys are running 305's and 315's without lifts. I imagine they rub a lot, but I can't say for sure. Hope this helps a little.
