Hey guys ive got a 96 chevy 4x4. this is my first truck seeing as how im just turning 17. I am deciding to start of small and add a body lift to my truck for a little extra height. I was wondering what are the biggest tires that i can fit on stock rims? I down't have alot of money and just thought i could save some money by keeping stock rims but i would still like some bigger tires. thanks for the help

with a 3 inch body lift you could go with a 31,32,33 x 10.50. They are gonna bulge off the wheels a little bit but it will look good, i always run bigger tires than wheels.

32s-33s sound about right for a 3in body lift. The previous post was right about the 10.50s so nothin rubs when you turn. Im not sure what the metric equivlent is to a 33-10.50-16 but that is what i would shoot for. Mabey 32s just to b on the safe side though. As in everything it is your choice. good luck and be careful cause even a body lift changes the handlin characteristics of your ride.
