I have a couple of quick questions. What is the largest tire i could fit on my factory rims (32x11.5 or 33x12.5), and which would fit with a 3" body lift (i am also thinking of doing the shackle thing as well) Thanks guys!
 






they might fit but i wouldnt do it nor would several others because your stock rim is only 7 inches wide.

you generally want to go no more than 2-3 inches bigger or smaller of you rim size.

although several have put 31x10.5x15 on the stock rims
 






Tires

I agree The tire should be within 2" or so other wise your side walls might not be able to do what they were intended to do.

Also handling will suffer for sure. The tires may flex over to the sidewall needed for the turn.

In hind sight I would have went with 33" but I have the room with very little rub.

You could get a tire/wheel combo out of the mags.
It might be cheaper in the long run after are possible chewed tire or a fender!
