Default What size tire for 4" procomp lift?

I have a white extended cab z71 with a 4" procomp lft on it with the factory 16" wheels with 295/75 BFG's that are almost done for and figured its about time for an upgrade. Im going to get some new 16's(prob. eagle alloys) I was just wondering what the biggest size tires I could fit and maybe some cheaper tire selections I could take a look at. Thanks a lot.

If you get 16x10 i think the biggest thing you can run is a 305 70 16

If you get 16x8 you should be able to run 315 75 16

Somebody correct me if im wrong

I didn't even know pro comp made a 4" kit. I was only aware of their full 6" drop kit that you can crank to 7.5"

+1

ranchos 4" i think you can do a 305/70/16

on a side note just for your reference, you can run 285/75/16 with JUST the torsion bars cranked on a 1/2 ton which is about a 32.8x11.5

33" tires would fit well. 35's would definitely rub, even if you were cranked all the way and trimmed. With 33's you wont' have to crank your keys all the way and your ride won't suffer... much
