Default 2008 silverado tire size?

What is the biggest tire size that will fit on a crew cab silverado with 6in lift? does it matter if it is body or suspension?

The NNBS trucks have much smaller wheel well openings than the NBS trucks did. Fitting 35's on the '07 and up is like fitting 37's with the same lift on the older trucks. That being said, you can fit 35's with little to no rubbing on a 6" if you use 9" wide or less wheels with stock backspacing.
