Tire clearance with 5 inch RCX and 3 inch body

I just recently put on a 5 inch RCX lift and a 3 inch body lift. i had torsion keys put in already. does anybody know what the biggest size tire i can run is? ive ordered 385/70/16 Toyo Mt's which translates to about a 38/15/16. If the tires dont fit could i add a leaf in the bak and crank my T bars up some to level it out and make em work?

The stock keys would have been more ideal. Aftermarket keys will put your angles beyond where you want them and start eating up ball joints and other ifs components. The 38's should be close to fitting. I ran a 37x13.5 on just a 6" fabtech. But yea, in the end.. you can add an extra leaf in the back and bump the front up a bit to gain another inch or inch and a half. But wouldnt max them out.

Will the 15 inch wide tire clear the stearing knuckle?

That's probably going to be more of a factor based on your wheel specs.
