max tire size

I am going to get the 2in leveling kit. I am under the impression i can go with a 33 inch tire. I am going to get 20s. I have a fx4 - what works out to a 33 inch tire in this format 285/65/20. I am wanting an all terrian tire. Thanks

with a 2" kit on a 4x4 you can fit 35's on the stock wheels (35x12.5R18) you can also go with a 33 (33x12.5R18) while a little too wide for stock, the 325x60R18's (33) and the 325x65R18 will also fit, but you will need to pay close attention to your alignment and your air pressure.

if you are going the aftermarket 20's route- stick to 33-34" max size...

BalogUK.....How much 4 wheeling do you do? I'm thinking about going with 35's on my OEM 17's with a 2.5 AS. I sometimes do light 4 wheeling and was wondering how much rubbing you get?
