1987 Chevrolet with 4 inch lift tire question?

[2_wacko]

My truck is a 1987 chevrolet with a 4 inch lift and 33 inch tires. Whats the biggest size tire I can get in there with out any problems?

I am currently running 36" Iroks with a 4" lift. I have very minor rubbing issues at full flex.

I'm 4in on 36x12.5 TSL's. Cut fenders to match the inner fenders. Very minor rubbing and zero rating it an inch forward is going to solve it.

How wide are your rims

I'm running 35s and the passenger front just knicked the rear part of the fender ever so slightly. Yet I still have my sway bar on and it stays on the street most of the time anyway, so I haven't had a chance to really tear it up yet.

I have an 1984 K5 with 35 X 12.5 X 15 Cooper STT's. Im using a 15 X 8 rim so that I can air down more without popping a bead. The 15 X 8 rims keep the tires more inside the fenders, so a wheel that is offset different will give different results. Some people use 15 X 10's but I like the 15 X 8 set up better. If you go wider, then the front will catch the front fender at full turn and full flex.

I have light rubbing on the inside tub on the rear, but it does not cause any damage or problems. As far as the front...I did the 4 inch all spring lift, but did not change the bum stops, so I have more travel than I should. Upon re-entry from being in the air with 5 people and an ice chest, I did catch the fender a bit towards the rear of the front wheel. A few seconds with a hammer was all I needed to get the extra bit I needed. If you e-mail me at [email protected] , I can take a few pictures and send them to you.

I put 35-12.5-15 BFG A/t's on my old K5 w/3" bodylift. Rubbed a little on the rear of the front fenders when turning while stuffed.

Currently I run 39'5-15-16.5 swampers w/ 8" lift and cutting.

Crew cab had 6" lift and 35-12.5 BFG Mud Terrains on a wider wheel and there was never a problem.

In short - 35's easy. 36 or 37 might force some body work.

I am running 3in front 4in rear and 37*12.50/15 8inwide and 2.5bs fenders are trimed up but well worth it to run 37's

I had 35's on 10" wide wheels. Don't remember the backspacing. They rubbed whenstuffed & turning. They actually tore the fenders.
