Tire And Wheel Help

I plan on a cognito leveling kit but i want to fill up the fender wells as much as possible. What size tire and wheel package would do this the best other than the stock 16" wheels. I really don't want to do any trimmimg either if I don't have to. The truck is a 07.5 crew cab 4x4 short bed. thanks

How much additional height will this leveling kit give you? Did you want to stay with a 16" tire/wheel combo or go 17",18" or 20" tires/wheels?

I think it will give me about 2-3". I know it would be cheaper to stay w/ the 16's but I'm not against going with 17 or 18". Will a 16" combo fill the space in the wells?

With your leveling kit installed, you will be able to clear up to a 34" tall tire with no problems. This is of course assuming the correct wheel dimensions are used. Your factory tires (265/70-17) are about 31.5" tall so any tire taller than that is going to help fill up the wheel well.

I personally think size 295/70-18 is a great option for the Leveled LMM. Here's a tire size calculator you can use to compare different sizes.
