Tire Size, I have searched forum

[slaughterrt]

Quick question. I understand that the biggest tire I can fit on my 99XLT (with TT and shackles) is about a 265/75/15...or about a 31" tire. I understand that there would be rubbing on the stock bumper if I went bigger. However, I am going to fab up a tube off road bumper and was curious if I would be able to fit a bigger tire...maybe 32 or 33 without it rubbing on the back side or top side of the fender. Just curious if anyone has any input on this. I am not worried about it rubbing on the front of the fender because my bumper is not made just yet, so I can always shave some off that if it rubs the bumper. Thanks guys.

the only way you can run a 33 inch tire is to lift the whole thing with a suspension or body lift ,
or,,,
put the tires on, and get out the sawzall,,

and cut it to fit the wheels,
