    Ive been looking at tires/wheels lately, and Im hoping to get some bigger tires to help give the truck that bigger look that Ive seen on other peoples rigs.

    It seems like the consensus is that the BFGs are about the right tire to get. Whats a good size that is larger than stock, that will fit without rubbing and a lift adjustment?

    Thoughts?

    265/75/16 is the max you can go without lifting or rubbing.

    Others have claimed to have gone bigger, but they're flukes.

    How big of tires can you put on the stock 15" rims of my 99 Tacoma? I currently have Bilstein 5100s set at max height in front and an AAL in the rear.
