Someone will be along with tire sizes.

As for the spacers please don't use them. They are dangerous.

search is your friend. i know it's over at NPORA, but i'm certain that a search here on nico would've been able to yield very similar results.

thanks for the replies, and why are wheel spacers dangerous?
also do you think 30" tires would fit without any rubbing?

the only time that i've seen or heard about spacers being dangerous is if they're improperly used. other than that, they're perfectly fine.

check the link because it still doesn't sound like you've been looking through the link and all the pinned topics. ;)

I've installed 265/70/16 Nitto Terra graplers on my stock bodied, non lifted R50 pathy. I did how ever have to trim the stock front mud flaps, and trip the front bumper, and relocate the fender liner mounts located on the front bumper. The wheels I used are 16x8J et +5

I think this size is probably the biggest all terrain tire you can go and still have your truck function without serious modifications to the fenders, bumpers, or removing the over fenders. here is a pic of the rear at almost full flex, the tire is just barely rubbing the over fender.

What I'm interested in is a beefier tire than 255/65R 16 that requires no alteration to the vehicle.
