Biggest tire on an 03?

[jobsi]

I have stock 03 16" lariat rims on my truck the ones in my avatar what is the biggest tire I can fit on them without the sidewall bulging out ?

The stock LT265/75R16 is the largest recommended size for your stock 16x7 wheels.

If you upgrade to a 16x8 or 16x8.5 you may be able to put a 285/75R16 under there without too much trouble. A wider 16x8 or 8.5 will help you get more out of a larger tire.

285/75 16s fit well, I used to run them on my 04, I still run them on my 01 Excursion, any wider and you rub the spring at full steering lock. Stock wheels work well with them for handling and longevity. I have seen 315s on stock rims, but I would not recomend it.

iam running a 285/75/16 BFG ALL TERRAIN, other than someone putting a d load tire on this truck, they look fine. handling is poor, but an e load version would be awesome. the width is fine looking.

I switched to 16x8 wheels and added a leveling kit and X code springs. I now have 315/75 R16 BFG All Terrains, but will rub the mud flaps and a little of the wheel well with them turned to the stops and hitting bumps. Next set will probably be 285's since they're a little cheaper and better on fuel mileage.

Thanks for the input I am gonna go the one size up to the 285/75/16 little bigger but still keep the fuel mileage that I am getting
