It depends on what size wheel and offset you have. Some guys claim to run 33/12.50-15's with no rubbing the fenders and others do have rubbing, I would run a 32/11.50-15.

Do you ever drive it? Have you hacked your fenders? I have 35's with 9" of lift and they still rub. |

I run 33 12.50's with a little rub when I'm at full lock and hit a bump......as for the guy running 35's with no lift I don't see how unless you cut your truck...

I have run 33x12.50 on stock wheels on a 83 4x4 longbed. I don't remember any rub..
As for tires I like the BFG AT's they wear good and are not bad off road. I have Goodyear MTR's on my 71 and they are not bad but the wear is not as good as I would like. I do more highway driving so my next tire mite be BFG AT's or Kumo's.

All my pics are too big and I cant upload them !! I did have to do some trimming on the front fenders to get 35s to work. It has been so long since I did that i'd forgotten ! I believe I had to trim for 33s also. On the back i have a utility bed that I was able to raise up . What a job that was ! I had no idea how heavy utility beds are ! So hey sorry, I guess im not the one with the answer !
