Just what the title says :D

I searched with not much luck. What is the largest tire I can mount to my factory rim? I know there could be clearance issues with the body, but at this time im just concerned with the rim.

Thanks

i just put a 12.50 on a 7in. stock rim..
 






Width is the limiting factor.

Max is 10.5" so you could mount 33x10.50 Goodrich MTR's and run them with 2"-3" suspension+2"-3" Body lifts.

You could probably go wider but they wouldn't look right.
 






You can run a 12.5 wide tire on a 7" wide stock rim. I'm currently running 33x12.5x15 on my stock rims and on my stock spare which I believe is 6.5" wide.

Ben, please post a pic. I might have a line on some cheap used 33x12.5 ProComp AT's but I don't have rims for them yet. I need to see what they would look like on stock rims.

Thanks
 






32x12.50 15 on stock spare rim..

I have a set of BFG a/t 31x10.5x15 on my stock 93. Some rubbing when i turn it real far to the right. Other then the speedo being a little off they run fine for me.
 






If you do a lot of HW driving & get the tires hot, no way I'd run anything more then 10.5. & that is pushing it for me. 9.5 would be the max I'd go. But that is me.
Off road shouldn't be a problem though.
 






We ran 33x12.50's on 7" (not stock) rims by accident. For years I thought we had 8" rims but we actually had 7"..

I dont' know what kind of a pic you want as I have a bunch from when we were on 7" rims..

Here are a couple different 33x12.50's at street pressure. Top pic is truxes MTs, lower pic is BFG KM2s
