you can run 35 inch tires but you would have to do a bit of cutting if you dont want to cut id say 30's max

I was wanting to go with 31s... May try and see what I can get away with. Does anyone have pics with 31s with 3.75bs with stock suspension?

You can run whatever 15" tire you want up to a 13.50 Width But height depends on how much cutting you want to do
