Up-sizing tires on stock rims

[bentwookie]

I would like to know if anyone can tell me what is the largest size tire I can put on my stock rims with minimal rubbing? I am looking to change to BFG ATs or MTs.

Thanks,

I have 32x11.5 BFG's on stock rims...

You'll need a couple inches of lift for adequate clearance though.
31x10.5's will go nicely on a stock Explorer with no rubbing except possibly at full turn.

I put a 265/75/16 on my rims. They are Centennial Mud Campaigners. I LOVE them. No rubbing at all. The specs say they are 31.7 inches tall.

i just pt on 31s on my X. i had some slight rubbing at full lock turn but that was solved with a utility knife. i just trimmed the fenderwell until i had no rubbing. this trimming took 5 minutes per wheel. i then went wheeling. no problems. check out my picks of loscoyotes in my signature in the pics main page. i have the blue explorer 1994

from what I've learned from this site

If you have 16" rims, the biggest size you can go is 265/75/16. If you have 15" rims, the biggest you can go is 31x10.50x15 No rubbing should occur on your model. This is assuming that you have no type of lift.

BTW, to get your link to work you need to change the last bracket to [/url] instead of [url/].

Lift?

Jimabena74,

Yup, got a combination of lift(s): 21/2" Rancho and 2" perf. Prod. body lift. Keeps the CG lower for stability, but gives good ground clearance with 33"s
