is your truck stock? is it 2wd or 4wd? are you willing to trim the fenders? aer you willing to run a small lift/spacers or leveling kit? we kind of need a little bit more information to be of any real help.

depending upon your leveling kit you can run in the nature of 32s for sure maybe 33s. but that depends on how "big" your leveling kit is.

33"s may rub a little when you turn the wheel all the way but it's not that bad.

you can run 33's with no problem at all and DO NOT buy keys!! just turn your factory ones up . you can level it with the factory keys. aftermarket keys will wear your front end out! and any company or person that says they wont, well their wrong cause i bought em ha and they ride bad

Hence the "maybe" but I agree - it really depends on how "big" the leveling kit is. I have seen some 2.5" kits that would probably clear them or at least they claim they will. Or if you really want to look "cool" you can throw a body lift on there too that way you can clear 34s.

It depends if you care about a little rubbing. and I have 35s with a 3" body lift that rub on the frame alot but its worth it
