I had a couple trucks that had 31s and didn't look too bad. Can go huge on the back, my truck has maybe 3" in back and fits 38.5" boggers....

8's on the front for sure and 10's on the back for sure..... For what it's worth 22X11 will go under the rear.
They have huge wheel wells....Needs lots of tire to fill them up.
