How big a tire on a stock 02 Silverado?
 

Have stock 02 Silverado 1500 ext cab Z71 which needs new rubber. Currently has 265/75/16 and want something which will give it a bit more of an aggressive look and fill up the wheel wells a little more. Not interested in lifting it, and plan to keep the stock wheels. Any idea on how big I can go w/o rubbing? Looking at the Goodyear MT/R's if that matters at all.

I have 285/65/R18 tires all around on my stock height 02 1500... no rubbing issues unless maxed out going over good sized bumps (speed bumps, or ruts in the road)...

285's are the largest possible. Before my lift and 35's I had 285's with minimal rubbing. The driver side front wheel well will need to be trimmed to avoid any rubbing. This is the portion in front of the windshield washer tank so be careful.

I run 285/75r/16s on my stock 00 Z/71 - Zero rub anywhere..BF Goodrich ATs, second set. I actually think I could run 295s.
