Default Tire size ?
I have a 97 4x4 extended cab with 265x70x17 tires . What's the biggest tire I can run with no issues ? I'm running stock wheels also . Thanks for your help .

Im running 285/70/17 with no rubbing or trimming. You can fit 305/70/17 if you crank your tbars. Might rub at full lock and might have minor trimming, maybe not though.
