    Hey guys just wondering what size tires can be used with a 7" lift on a 1992 gmc sierra? I'm not looking for answers like "you can stuff X size tires but they will rub a lot" I want realistic answers that will cause little to no rub.

    Well I was running 35's on 18" rims with just a 4 inch lift and I recently added 3 more inches of lift and it looks like there's tons more space in the fenders. I'm due for some new tires and I have my eye on some 37's but I don't want to purchase them if there's gonna be a lot of rubbing. Currently my 35's don't rub at all.

    depends on the back spacing of the rims. just get the 37's and if they rub get a 3 inch body lift. but they shouldnt rub.

    im running 35's with just a leveling kit with no scrubbing. but 37's are about the biggest you can go and still be able to tuck in the back if you are carrying a load.
