Wife just backed into brand new 4x4. OR bumper. Biggest tire?

Getting an offroad bumper sooner than later. I have an appointment for 285/75/16 on 0mm offset 8" wheels. Now that I'm chopping off half of my fender, what's the biggest tire I can stuff on stock suspension? I'm not a big wheeler, only occasion, I'm not worried about serious flex.

Back to the fire with you!

Welcome OP

 

Welcome!

 

Your rear bumper doesn’t affect tire size. It’s all about the front wheels, lift, offset, etc.

 

Hi guys. Thanks. I've been lurking for a long time. I just pulled the plug and got my truck. I am getting wheels and new decals tomorrow. My wife backed into the bumper/fender. I'm pretty bummed.

I researched largest tire size already. I am getting 285/75/16 tomorrow. If it runs I have a cmc lined up.

If I remove the lower half of the fender would that potentially open up some more room, or no?

Thank you

 

Front bumper/fender

 

Might want to research a bit.

 

Only but once or twice in this life will you be gifted such moral high ground. Do not squander it. Consider wisely its utility.

 

I told my wife it's okay if she let's me put the bumper on a credit card. She said okay. She feels bad because I was really happy about the truck.

 

Welcome to TW!!

 

Got it, still the tire size is based on your lift, wheel offset, cmc chop etc. just swapping the bumper won’t allow you run anything bigger then with stock.

 

Thanks man! That's what I needed to know!

 

Try to work some King’s while you’re at it.

285/75r17 will require a 3" lift, new upper control arms, cab mount chop, fender liner trimming, pinch weld bashing as well as other assorted trimming.

If you don't know what any of those terms mean, you should google them and do some research.

Don't even bother buying those tires until you're prepared to do all of that immediately, the truck won't turn or roll In stock form.

 

But the high clearance bumper is still a great idea! The rear departure angle is the biggest weakness off road in these trucks in my opinion. It drags when everything else clears easily.

 

Wife called and said just to pay the deductible and keep it OEM. Lisa needs braces and you ain't got time for that shit

 

Oh man, you have no idea how empty your wallet will be.
