Post by: iwannachevy on February 21, 2003, 03:20:00 pm

i need new tires for my 85 c20. whats the biggest tire i can put on my truck with out any mods? it has 16 inch stock rims on it. i will need a tire that will be able to go good in the snow. im not realy concerned about wear because i live in a small town and dont do a whole lot of driving.

Usually about 1-2 inches is about all your gonna get w/o any lift. If it didnt matter to ya, id just go and get a good set of mud/snow tires for about 120$ if you just need to get to work and back. If wouldnt go with a bogger or anything.

I'd say yes to 33s and for sure to 32s.

What width rims are you running? I tried 33-12.5 coopers on my stock 85K10 and they rub on the back of the front fenders. I think they are on 10-12" rims.
