I have a 31x14.5 on a stepside. Side wall to side wall is about 17inches. Not a whole lot of room side to side . This would probably be the biggest you could fit with stock sheetmetal and frame. The bed is raised an inch on the frame, and the fenders are moved up an inch on the bed box. The frame at ride heigth is 6". Wheel is a 15x14. The tire diameter helps with the footprint of the tire as well as width. A 30'' is probably where I will go next round on tires but if this does notb give me problems I am ok with the smaller tire.
