Re: Tires??
Depending on wheel backspacing, you can probably go with around a 14" wide tire. I ran 33 x 12.5 R17's on mine and the slider wasn't anywhere near touching.
Current rides:
2013 Toyota Tundra DC 4x4
2008 Dodge Nitro 4x4
2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8S Special Edition
Mileage spreadsheet
Vans owned:
1986 Safari 2.5L 4 speed manual - scrapped
1995 Astro 2WD conversion 4.11 posi, shift kit, DHC rock rails - sold to Skippy
1998 Astro 4x4 D44, D60, NP231, full hydraulic system with 9k# Milemarker winch and snow plow - sold to Lockdoc
2003 Astro AWD all stock - traded for a 3/4 ton truck
2005 AWD, 4.10's - sold to skippy

Re: Tires??
Thanks lifted, I am running 15x8 aluminum wheels off my caprice and they have a 5 inch backspacing if i read the tape correctly. I want to run a car type tire for the ride because of my back. Still appreciate the answer.
