go for a 32" then. 265/75/16 or if you can fit 15's..there are much more possibilites. no sense in trying to put 33s if its not going to see any trails. 33's may fit, but it may require more trimming and depending on what wheels you use..may rub uca's or frame.

i have the pp springs and bilstein shocks. 33s will look stuffed and you will rub. if you want a good look, buy MTs in 32s. if you want good looks w/ still an aggresive look but better road manners, get a nice set of ATs (revos, terra grapplers, etc)

ok so with my 16" wheels 275-70-16 or 270-75-16. i always just assumed wider would be better for handling but it probably will be unnoticable

I haven't done any serious off camber stuff with the tires yet, but have been running around in the mojave desert, mostly on motocycle trails and dirt roads and still don't rub.

Believe RavenCR also ran 285/75r16 tires on PP springs. he did a fair amount of whacking and trimming.

I have PP springs and have no rubbing on my 33x10.50x15 BFG AT. 285/75/16 are a little wider so may rub, but you can try 255/85/16, they are like a 33.5x10. Otherwise just stick to the 265.

so i know this is hardly anybody's style around here but i just picked up a set of 20" wheels antera type 301. i am going to still raise the truck and the tires are 275-55-20 31.9" so no small sidewall it has descent meat on it. i think its gonna look good, guess i'll just have to find out.
