Common Lift/Tire Combo's for OBS/NBS Trucks & SUVs
These are only common lift/tire combinations that seem to work well together. Some setups may rub in off-highway situations, but most allow for clearance. Any wheel that is 'not recommended' for that particular height can be run, but is not advisable.


OBS Trucks (88-98), OBS SUVs (92-99):

Stock height
- 285/75R16 & 32/11.5R15 on Stock wheels or 16x8/15x8 (possible torsion bar crank); 16x10/15x10 not recommended
- 305/70R16 & 33/12.5R15 on Stock wheels or 16x8/15x8 (torsion bar crank and light trimming); 16x10/15x10 (torsion bar crank and heavy trimming, or cutout flares)

3" Suspenion Lift or Body Lift

- 315/75R16 & 35/12.5R15 on Stock Wheels or 16x8/15x8 (torsion bar crank and heavy trimming, or cutout flares); 16x10/15x10 not recommended
