Default What To Do?

Hey its Mr Sparky dont know if this goes here but if not let me know still new, i been reading and thinking about this for awhile now i really hate the look of the tires i have on my truck now but i like the stock truck look rims i mean. it comes down to this i had some say i can put 38's on my stock rims and some say i cant and that i can only get 33's i have a 7inch lift on it so don't think rubbing would be a prob may be wrong new to the liftedness. i would like to get 38's but if i can go bigger why not. GO BIG OR GO HOME ya know. so question is how big of a tire you think i can get on stock rims with no rubbing with the 7" suspension lift? or just buy new rims that can fit the biggest tire i can get that don't rub and deal with the no stock look. thanks agian

What kinda weight are you towin with this truck. You can go a little oversized but safety becomes an issue.

38's are too big (I know that they are on mom's 2000),but you could probably get away with some 35s.that's a guess.

35's yes - 38's on the 8" OEM wheel - no.

Youll need at least a 10" wheel for 38's. Rubbing isnt really the issue - safety is.

Just remember larger tires will effect you MPG and degrade them...
