Max Tire Size

Hi Everyone. I need to replace my 3rd set of tires soon. What is the maximum size I can put on my stock SS rims without running into clearance issues. I appreciate your input.

Width? Height? Both? What are you asking?

Saying "maximum size" is kind of vague.

LOL im betting they might fit, until you try to turn. But straight lines are what counts right?

Sam you should have started a voting poll on this? I say they don't clear. Rob has them on his front, but he had his inner liner taken out.

Crazy Canuck, as far as I have read and seen you can go 245/40 on stock rims.

Ha, turns out they are 275x40 we didn't try one. So I think 255x40 is the max
