Biggest tire for stock truck

Got a 2006 mega slt 4x4. What's the largest tire that can fit on stock rim without rubbing? I did a search and didn't see anything. Thanks. Ryan.

Without rubbing at all, no other mods to a truck? A 33 12.50.

All stock suspension and rims, I had 33s, (no rub) 35s (very minor rub), and 37s, (felt like you were driving down rail road tracks).

Remember, all trucks are a little different, and tires are different as well. All of those tires were MTs, if you have an AT it may be different.

Thanks for the help. I got to fill those wheel wells up. Looks pretty bad.

I've run 315s before and they DO rub sometimes even though it's pretty minor. I'm now running 305/65s and have absolutely zero issues.

I saw some of the Toyo ATII's yesterday and they are awesome. The guy got some 285-75-17's. Next to nothing in the weight dept to balance and warranteed for 50K.
I like my Toyo MT's but 10" of annual rain here doesn't mandate them.
It's going to be awhile as these things are wearing super.

I went to a dealer and looked at some tires. I think the 305/70 route is where I am going to go. My truck is for sale. I don't have to sell it but I know bigger tires help out the look of the truck anyway.
