Biggest tires on rear
I'm looking to buy rubber in bulk. What is the largest rubber to have been confirmed on the back of a suburban? I'm specifically looking to go with 33 12.50 15. As in these stepside pics.

Re: Biggest tires on rear
With stock sheet metal, 295mm tread width is the limit, IF you get the right wheel offset.

Re: Biggest tires on rear
If you want to tub the fenders 4" you can fit 31x16.50R15s in there...

Re: Biggest tires on rear
That is a ton of tire. Probably no tubs for me. Im trying to quit welding on this thing.
I would be happy to run a 10.50 but when you get to 33's they are all mud tires. In a 12.50 there are many tires that are regular tread. I have 275 60 bfg ta's on it now and they were fine but really are a car tire. I want a truck tire and big little look. With 235 75 being little. |

33 12.50 is not even in the ball park for the factory wheel well.
My 275 60's measure 28" diameter and 9" of tread with a fair sidewall buldge. Probably 10.5 at widest. I would have to trim the lip to even do a 30 diameter or a 10.5 at the tread. |
