    Default Lift vs tires

    With a 3" suspension lift would I be able to fit 32 or 33" tires with out rubbing?
    also what is the biggest tire I can fit on a 4" lift?

    Depends, are you willing to cut your fenders?

    I was able to fit 33x12.50x15 on a 3.5" lift but even with cut fenders I was still rubbing

    For my 33's I cut as much as I could before I actually started cutting into the body, not sure about 32's but I'd rather be safe than sorry

    ...my friend ran 32's with a 3.5" lift without any cutting and stock fender flares but would tear them off alot when wheeling

    With no cutting and no rubbing you are looking at 30" MAYBE 31" tires with a 3" lift, if you wheel. You wheel back spacing and width of tire will also effect this.
