Hello, I'm getting ready to put on new tires, and here is the age old how much bigger can I go on the with everything stock. I have 07 DC TRD 4X4 with the 4.7L I'm not sure if the engine size really matter but I thought I would throw it out there. I'm looking to get an all or mud terrian tire and would like to go a little larger to try to fill in the wheel gap. Does anyone have any ideas on what would be a good tire to do that I'm thinking maybe BFG AT KO's or something similar. I just need to know how big I can I go without any rubbing. Thanks in advance for any helpful advice you can offer.

Do a thread search, this issue has been addressed plenty.

285/65R18 will be bigger without rubbing. Some others on here have done bigger, but I don't advise it. Go to a Discount tire or other big tire store and ask them to test fit one for you. Also try a 275/70r18, or 265/70r18. All of these will be taller, but marginally wider. Bridgestone, Nitto or BFG are my preferences.

I will be putting on 24" rims and a High Performance Sumitomo brand of tire. The Sumitomo tires are standard on many Mercedes vehicles in places other than America. Sumitomo is premium tires and have the looks.
