33, possibly 35 with some rubbing.

Thanks for the reply!

Dumb question, if I go too big where would I get rubbing?

With the 2" boost and 35"s you can get rubbing at full flex and at full lock. Plus depends on what bumper you have as you might rub there as well as the wheel well.

I'm in the same boat, got 33"s and want to go bigger. Getting myself 35"s but I'm either chopping my fenders or replacing them with RR Flat fender flares to stop the rubbing at flex. I've got 1.5" spacers as well to help and replacing my Mopar bumper with a stubby bumper as well.

I have a friend who will let me try 37"s when Ive got my flares and bumper done and will let you know how it goes, dont expect much though.

You can get 35's on yours if you have the flares done and a bumper that won't rub at lock. That won't be a problem, any more is pushing it though.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong please
