With Bilstein 5100s installed, What is the biggest tire size I can get away with ??

alittle rubbing is ok.

 

thinking on either BFG A/T or BGF Mud Terrain

 

.........well..... It depends on what your set up is or what you want to achieve. Are you wanting just replacement 5100's with the stock coils? Lift coils? Setting the 5100's up to achieve lift? Need more info. There are a lot of options with 5100's etc etc or just a strut/coil combo anyways.

Thanks,

Without changing your geometry 5100's and lifts make zero difference in what tires you can fit.

This question has been asked a million times since 2004 when these trucks came out. I suggest you do some research by searching.


Oh and I'd say with 5100's you could run 325/85/16's

 

I installed 5100's in the front and back. I set the front at 1.75 and put 275/70r17's on aftermarket Pro Comp wheels. I had to remove the mud flaps and some plastic from inside the fender.

Pro Comp 7032- 17x9
Backspace=4.75
Max Load =2200 Lbs
Finish=Flat Black
Hub Centric = NO
Offset = -6mm

 

Im just replacing the strut and using stock springs.

Using stock 16" wheels

I have stock rugged trails ( 265/65/16 ) tires on truck now.

I just see some guys with bilstein 5100 setup running same size tires as stock... but not sure why they'd run same size after lifting truck.

 

I really like the look this guy achieved!

he is running 265/75/16

 

plan on setting 5100's to 1.75" in front.

would I be able to swing 275/75/16 bgf nud terrains without cutting / trimming anything ?

 

I just put 5100's on my 14 double cab. I set them all the way up. 2.5 I think, I put in toyo mt 285's on stock rims. I did have to put a 1.25 wheel spacer on the front to keep them from rubbing the upper control arms. No rubbing other than the mudflap on the bumper. I took those off in less than 2 min. Looks perfect
