Stock - 235's (approx 29 to 29.5" tall) maybe 30s
+2" 30s maybe 31's (might rub depending on your wheels)
+3.5 recommended are 31's, 32s are possible but removing flares would probably be necessary.

that would look pretty cool on one at stock height i must admit :P but as for the o/p's question... i know you can get 30's on at stock height but they do rub a bit unless you trim.. my 235's didnt rub at all but the 30's rubbed a bit till i trimmed the fenders. 2" will fit 30's comfortably and 3.5" will fit 31-32's (depends on what lift the kit you buy actually gives the vehicle)

Gobstopper,

We obviously have a few comedians on tonight or guys who can't read. You did say you wanted to know what would fit with "NO" trimming and not rub. I totally agree with Metmknice...and from personal experience.

1.) Stock height: Nothing bigger than a 235

2.) 2 inch lift: Nothing bigger than 30s. My son's 31s rubbed even with a 3 inch lift when we were off road flexing it out.

3.) 3.5 inch lift: Nothing bigger than 31s. I had a 4.5 inch lift with 32s and they just fit perfectly.

You don't need a SYE until you get over 6 inches of lift. However you will need a TC drop kit and degree shims for the rear axle with a lift over 4 inches.

i just put 30's on my stock 92' yesterday. It looks badass-they fill the wheelwells, but the overall height was extremely close to the 235/75/15 that was on there. Haven't rubbed yet, only on "one point turns" in the street. Def. looks badass though. I will be going w/ a 2"bb in the near future.
