on a 4/6 drop, 245-40 tires dont rub, but what is the biggest tire you can run in back with the 6 inch drop and not rub, i still want a lil front tilt to it, and wondered how big i could go

dont quote me on that. there are a lot of veriables involved. like by going to a wider tire, it will make the OD taller, but you need the right width to actually go wider (if that makes sence)

there is a good tire calculator on www.dakota-truck.net

you can findout the OD on anysize tire, and kind of figureout what will work and what will not

Message:
If your back space 5.5 on an 8.5 wheel the ofset will be about the same as stock that means the wheel will be out 1/4" and in 1/4" futher To be safe I would stick with 245's But Kota's right, you need to understand it or buy the tires from someone that does.
so please Don't take my word for it.
