315s on 11" inch rims if stock springs.... you might have to use a BMF, however.

i have summitomos 315/35/17 on hotchkis pro drop and my fender is about to completely slice through the walls of my tires. My stock shocks might be shot which is probably contributing to it but i need to roll my fender and get some koni's on the rears before i get some nitto drags back there
