Ok...so, I am wondering what the biggest tire I can cram onto my stock 17" rims with ZERO clearance issues at the stock height.

I do plan on raising the front an inch or so when I get tires...but things may change.

I tried searching on GMT...but we all know how well that search function works.

I will either be going with BFG A/T KO or Bridgestone Dualer A/T Revos if that makes a difference.

Absolutely no rubbing at stock height? 265/70R17.

If you're cranking the t-bars 1", and don't mind possibly trimming a little bit of the plastic inner fender liner, you should be fine with some 285/70R17s.

I would hope they wouldn't rub as those are the stock size for the 4x4s. :jester:

285s should clear just fine. I cranked my t-bars little over an inch, with a very slight difference front to back, and 285s would clear no problem. I just didn't want to deal with a speedo that was off half the year as my winter wheels are the original stockers.

I have 285's on 20x10's and they clear barely with maxxed out stock torsion keys. you should fit 285's just fine.
