Re: 1986 4x4 tire size

my local tire shop told me i can get 33s under my truck they said the issue would fall on the width of the tire if i go to wide i might have some rubbing issues when i turn but i am putting a lift on my truck anyway so that wont be an issue then.

Re: 1986 4x4 tire size

31x10.50's fit well.
If you use 33x12.50's they will hit the lower corners on the front fenders on sharp un-even turns.(like turning into a steep driveway or off-road turns at speed).
I've used the 33x 12.50's on my 82,4x4 since new.

I would say 32x11.50 is about these biggest you can go without rubbing issues.
