Stock wheels and new tires

Stock 2002 Supercab short bed with the stock 16x7 wheels. What are the biggest tires I can go with on this truck with these wheels?

I use the OEM wheels with a coil spring spacer.

He has an 02 which is a completley different truck than your 07.

if a 4x4, 305-70-17 seems to be the max you can go on the stock wheels. Personally, if you are staying stock height, I would go w/ the 285's. More wheel well space in case you like to offroad. Crank up the torsion bars for a level stance.

Sorry for the delay I've been away from the computer for a few days. It's a 4x2, my main reason is I'd like to put an LT tire on the truck and I'm not having much luck finding any around here in my current size, just wanted to see what my options are.

You can fit a 285/75-16 but they will be a really tight fit and look really stuffed. I'd suggest a 265/75-16.
