2011 FX4 max rim/tire diameter (stock suspension)

soooo ive searched and searched and cant seem to find what im looking for. Most of the threads I come up with are pre 2008 ride heights.

What is the max wheel/tire diameter I can fit without rubbing with the stock FX4 off-road suspension (no t-bar crank either)

I want to stick with a 16inch wheel. I have a 2011.

^x2 on that. Maybe 285 for a nice stuffed look but again you mentioned no t bar cranking, so with that probably what KLC stated.

nope...it's just not completely covered in dust like the rest...standard 08 fx4 dsg on top with black around the bottom



And to the OP ...there is enough clearance that I don't have any rubbing

Awesome thanks guys....so is there any rubbing issues with that size? I mean with suspension flex as well.

I guess ill crank the T-bar a bit for peace of mind and to level it out a bit

oh...also what offset should I look for with aftermarket rims?
