I got 17 inch rims they arent stock. I wana say they are 17x9 and I can go up to 35/12.50/17 or maybe a little wider. I have a 3 inch leveling kit. A 2.5 will allow you to go up to 35's but for stock rims I dont know how wide you can go.

With a leveling kit:
Stock rims: 35x12.50
Aftermarket rims with less backspacing and wider than stock: 33x12.50 or 33x13.50

Prepare to have rubbing, you'll need to trim the valence a little. These sizes are assume your truck is a 4x4.

could be worse... two teenage girls. talk about friggin' hormones.'smiliedoh' even the dog's a girl... at least with boys you've only got one prick to worry about, with girls you've got every prick to worry about. oh, did I mention the 2 year old grandson? at least there will be another pair in the house.

Congrats papa, it's all worth it in the end.

LT metric i think you can go up to 305/70-17 which is purdy close to 35" with just a little trim on the lower valance. but if you want mudders, you will probably want the floatation sizes (35x12.5).
