What are the biggest tire I can run with a 3" body lift? 2001 4x4 Screw. 16" wheels.

Thanks

 

You should be able to run 35s with minor triming and a slight crank of the torsion bars. That is what I will be getting in a month or so.

 

I run 315's on my Crew with NO LIFT and VERY MINOR rubbing
Go with 37's

 

37s will not fit without Major trimming. 315s and 35s are the same thing (the 315s are just the metric version) 35s are the way to go with a little torsion bar cranking and minor cranking.My buddy has 36s and had to do a lot of trimming, even with the bars cranked..A 10" wide rimm will make you tire look fatter and not quite as tall.A 8" wide rim will make the tire taller and not as wide.( assuming you put on 315/75 or 35 x 12.50s).Personally, I think the 10"wide rims are the way to go.

 

Agreed lightningcrashz,

37s will never fit with a 3in body lift only. I have 35/12.7/17 procomp mud terrains with the stock wheels on my 99 4x4 SC with PA 3in body. They just fit and do slightly rub the frame rail at a full locked turn.

I will have pics as soon as my wife developes the camera. They will show how close the 35s come to rubbing in the wheel wells.

If you intent to do any off-roading at all, I'd go with 33s. You won't have a lot of clearance with 35s, in my opinion.

klaibs27 has 315/75/16 goodyear wrangler mt/r's with a 3 inch body lift. He does soem serious off roading with his and only reports a slight rub on the front wheels at full lokc and full articulation.

 

I do some pretty nasty stuff with my vehicle. I've had the back wheels so stuffed into the wheel well that half of the tire is covered. I had to trim every piece of plastic on the edges of all four wheel wells. The 315's are actually wider than the width of the rear wheel well so they get kinda rubbed back there. In the front for normal driving, you have to trim the front valence and crank the bars up a tad so they won't rub the rear of the fender well under full lock and compression. Stick with 315 or smaller!!
