I will chime in since no one else has replied. I do not know from experience, but I have read that many ppl run 32" with no modifications. I am currently on 29"s but i'm upgrading to 33"s. I have read that most ppl with 33"s have a slight rub at full turn/ or full flex. But I will be installing 1.5" wheel spacers to avoid rubbing. I have also heard of ppl running 35"s, but I think they chop their fenders(which can be done yourself). So if you choose 33or35" tires, you will only have to do another light modification. But that's just what i've read. Hope that helps. If not, look through the mod. forum.
