How can i go bigger?

[Tahoe_99]

I want to get a bigger more aggressive looking tire, but im not sure how much bigger i can go. right now i have 245/75/16 on it. would getting a 4" lift help? and if so how much more space would it give me?

stock should be able to get 285/75/16 in there. any bigger will need trimming on body or lifted.

Really? im just worried about rubbing if i go bigger with it stock, but im not sure what the best lift to get would be to create the space i'm looking for at a relatively decent price. Any suggestions?

as long as your suspension is not sagging the should fit with no rubbing.

ok. because i looked at discount tire and their website said that the biggest that could fit would be 275/70/16. But Im also thinking about possibly to an 18" wheel, do you know what the biggest size tire i could get with no problems there?

I think total wheel diameter is the limiting factor, rather than what the actual rim size is.

I was looking at that and discount tire sells Nitto terra grappplers that i might be interested in at 285/60/18. Wouldnt that fit just as good as 285/75/16?

If you're gonna go with an 18" rim, I think you'd want at least 35" tires or bigger, or else your ride quality will suffer sine you hardly have any rubber.

that makes sense, but 35" tires wont fit on a stock tahoe will they?

you can body lift 3" for about $250 and it will fit 33's with no rub unless youve got the suspension flexing. and for the price, mickey thompson baja atz are some bad ass tires. the a/t look like m/t and the m/t look like super swampers lol. check em out. or toyo open countrys.

and i had 18" eagle alloy offroad rims with 33" mickey thompson baja atz i think they were lt205/60/r18 and never had any problems on pavement or in the mud. it was a great set up.
