My truck (03 2wd 1500 gmc sierra) currently has a 7" fabtech lift on 16x9.5 wrapped with 305/75/16. I need new tires so i was planning on adding a 3" body lift. Whats the biggest tire i can fit with my current rims? Keep in mind its a 2wd so it sits lower then 4x4's. I was thinking about getting:
MT Baja Claw 36"
Pro Comp Xterrains 35"
BFG muds 35" or 36"

Which one would suit me best? Will the 36" fit?

Thanks John

What kind of driving are going to be doing? I don't see why you couldn't fit a 36" tire. Have you seen the New BFG Muds?

Street queen daily driver, nope havent seen the muds yet. I just gotta make sure that 36" would fit before i buy em, hoping they wont rub at full lock. Which tires would ya'll prefer?

I know a guy who rubbed 36x12.50s on a 16x10" rim with a 7" cst, 3" body lift. He had to trim the front and back of his fenders.

Yea, i decided to go with 315/75/16 Baja Claws. I think i got a good deal on it. Tires, body lift w/ gap guards for $1148 shipped to AZ. Ya'll think thats a good deal i got there?
