Default What clears stock fenders? Widest Width Wheel...

Please post if you have wider than 225 front tires and 245 rear tires and don't have any modification to fenders. I'm trying to figure out how wide of a wheel/tire we can fit on stock fenders without rubbing, I'm sure this will help others who are in the same boat. TIA.

If you have the 16" wheels the 225/50R16 front and 245/45R16 rear is the widest. There are not any other 16" tires with the correct height.

Jim, what about all four wheels 17X9 +63 offset with 255 width tires on both front and rears, I see a lot of people with that set up, will it rub?

Probably not gonna work up front. I have a 17x7.5 +55 up front with a 225 and a 17x9 +65 in the rear with a 255 and they both appear to be on the upper end of the width spectrum if you ant to lower without a radical alignment.

However, there is absolutely zero rubbing with this setup on a stock suspension and stock alignment.

What about those custom offset HRE wheels. I saw a couple for sale and they carry 245/18 fronts and 285/18 rears with stock setup.

285s in the rear without fender rolling and 235's up front is about all I could fit.
