Default 33'' tires without a lift or level?

What's the largest tire size you can have at stock height before any rubbing?

Anyone have pics of 33"+ tires without a lift or level?

I put 275/65/20 (34.1") BFG KO2s on my truck about a week prior to getting the lift done. No rubbing. I've heard a few people putting 285/65/20 KO2s without a lift and they didn't rub. That's secondhand information though.

I didn't rub until I added 1.5" wheel spacers to push the tires out a little bit. That was enough push to get the edge of the tire to rub the front crash bar at full lock.

Sorry for the crappy picture. It's the only one I took after the tire install and before the lift. At least it's washed. I added one for how it sits now.

Same here I have the 275 60 20's (33") KO2's before my lift was installed. No issues at all you are good.

Then I had the 2" front and back Auto Spring Lift installed and 1.25" FG Wheel spacers added.

Still no issues at all.

Nice! that's really big for stock height.

I'll be driving through steep, rutted out logging trails, so if mall crawling caused those tires to rub, I should probably stay under 33''

What would you say is the max tire size you can fit with no lift and no rubbing. . I don't want to change any geometry yet. I want to put 33s on it with 20 in aftermarket wheels. Will it look out of place with no lift? It's not that much bigger then stock, imo. I figured out the offset or stance I want. I'm looking at 0 or 1 to be almost flush or a little poke. I'm not looking for anything too aggressive.
Thx

Saw this great looking new truck parked at Costco yesterday. I liked that the wheels/tires didn't stick out (throw mud/rocks on the paint). He was running 35x12.5R20LT tires (Ironman All Country M/T) Wheels were either 20x9 -18 or 20x10 -12. (truck was partially parked on a snow bank)
