no way.

I have 22's on mine, nothing done.

265/35/22

My buddy has 275/45/20 and they rub.

Not sure about the shackels but i'd still say fat chance

You could with about a 2-3 inch lift and spacer/adapters. A warning though, spacers are NOT the safest way to go, especially with the big rims/lift you'll have to do. Also, I think they only make two tire sizes in 24" at the moment: 295/40 and 305/35 <-- the lowest

Yeah come to think of it i believe he's right.

By the way i like the look of your 22's on your truck you had a year ago, (your avatar) looks like my ride, only yours is newer and not a POS

LOL

I was reading on another forum about a guy who claims he has 26's on an X and didn't lift it.

Sounds retarded, and even if he did lift it and put 26's on it, how did he find decent tires, and it would look retarded lifted with 26" rims. If your gonna lift it just put some swampers on it!!!

No way a 26 will fit without a lift.

A 305/35/24 is roughly 33"x 12" :eek: . . .no way you're fitting that stock, probably not even with 2" lift w/o trimming. Thats 12" tread width, not like a 33x12.50x15 which only has a tread width of ~10"

26's with tires is equivalent to a 35" tire. there is no way in hell in would go on without a lift. guy is full of it

Even if you could fit it, you would be subject to much redicule both in real life and on the internet, I can assure you of that. :confused: :eek:

Not to be a smart ass, but the 305/30-26 inch tire is 33.2 inches high, courtesy of www.eunos.com/tirecalc

And much like hartman says, you'll get more laughs than props
