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

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.
