    Small lift.
    Tried to put 33x12.5's on, they rubbed on fender. Will 33x10.5s fit? I bought my truck as is so not sure what kind of lift/spacers it has but I have some pictures if anyone can help. I really want bigger tires on it, how big can I go? Currently have 31x15.5x15r. Buying BFG All Terrains.

    In the 3rd photo you can see where it rubbed a chunk of fender off where there's the white metal showing through on the righthand side.

    That lift looks high enough to fit 33"s so I would try skinnier tires.

    You can run up to 33/12.5's with that setup, you'll just need to cut and trim your fenders to do it. You can always bigger too, its just a sawzall and BFH or glass fenders will be needed ;)

    just a FYI - lifting a truck with a typical lift does not change the trucks suspension geometry thus the same size tires fit on stock vs lifted.

    No idea why everyone thinks a lift means bigger tires will fit. it just means you have less down travel and your truck drives like crap in the rough stuff.

    Hahah I had 35" tires on my 2011 gmc 1500 with a lift and I'm pretty sure those wouldn't of fit on stock suspension
