new tires?

[SquareChevy]

86 chevy k10--- 16 inch rally rims---Right now I have 31 inch height x10.50 width bfgoodrich tires, I have a lift from my leafsprings, about 3 inch maybe 4 inch lift, the 31's kinda look small and I'm wondering how big I should go and how wide before I start to have rubbing problems? the 10.50 width is pretty close to rubbing something already..(can't think of the name of it right now)

Anyone got pics of their trucks with tires bigger then 31's that's about the same size lift as me? Run into any problems fitting bigger tires? please share!

Maybe a 33x10.50 tire? My 86 K10 has about a 3" maybe 4" suspension lift as well but also has a 3" body lift I am planning to remove. Right now it has 35x12.50 and i was planning on going to a 33x10.50 when I take the body lift off. I'm getting tired of replacing worn steering components from the bigger tires. I will be watching this thread to see what you come up with. I would definitely try and stick with a 10.50 width though.

Edit forgot to add, when I originally put 35x12.50 tires on with just the 3" or 4" lift they just barely rubbed on tight turns.

Hey hows it going im trying to figure out if a 28x18.50 Mickey Thompson tire will fit on my 1987 Gmc C10. Im trying to make it a pro street truck and honestly I have no clue what type of pro street rear end I will need to fit these big boys on my truck, currently waiting for the tubs to be delivered just need to know rear end width I have to run with out rubbing the inner fenders

I have a 82,K-10 that I bought new.Been running 33x12.50x15 BFG's since the original tires wore out.
Mine will rub if I get the front end in a bind,but with a lift,yours' should be O.K.

Which ones do you guys think look the meanest? p.s I'm on the cheaper side with tires, if anybody has opinions of a knobbie looking tire please share! (must be 180- a tire)

picture of current truck with 31's kinda hard to tell but they r pretty small, look at the back tire, looks to narrow? p.s why do my pictures keep coming up sideways?..

I'm running 285/75R16's on my 87 v20. I've got a slightly lifted suspension. Perfect height for me.
I've taken off the running boards, and am making bars for it.

Here is my truck with a 4" rancho lift and 33 x 12.50 x 15 they are too small for me, will get 35's next.
