currently i have 235/75/15's on my truck, they look tiny on this truck, my buddy says i can get 32's on it without a lift and no rubbing? Any one have other size tires on a stock 4x4? thanks

I have known lots of people that run 31-32 inch tires on stock 1/2 ton pickups. they use small tires from the factory for a better ride and better fuel economy, but most trucks will fit a tire a few sizes larger than stock. The tires I have on my 92 half ton are almost 32 inches tall, and this truck came with tires that were 29 inches tall. no lift, no rubbing, no problem.

Anyone have any pictures of their trucks. I just want to see how it will turn out. also, what backspacing would be good to widen it just a little bit? stock wheels are 15x7 with 4.5" right? thanks again!

My 85 had 31s on the stock ralleys (15x8). Looked ok. Looked better with 35s and 4" lift.
