Biggest tire that will tuck?

Whats the biggest tire a 81-87 can tuck without trimming?

Tuck meaning tire in the wheel well, like when flexing or a really heavy load.

Thanks, Bradley

Re: Biggest tire that will tuck?

my 3/4 ton has 33 13.50 on it. no lift. got nowhere near wheel well with 4000 pounds in the bed but they are not tucked exactly. they stick out of truck about 1". you talkin about a wheeler? need them to go for sure in the wheel well? my buddys 86 is lowered a bit with factory steel wheels and has 235/75/15 tire. they fit all the way in the wells.

I realize you are talking about a 4x4.... but on my 2wd I was able to fit 31"s all around with no lift and 32"s only had a slight rub on the upper fender. You would probably get away with a skinny 33" on a 4x4.... but a lot depends on how much your springs have sagged.
