Default Replacing tires.....

I have a 2003 ZR2 it appears to me to already have a 2" lift with it already.
What would be the max size tires that I can mount with the factory wheels?
It already has 31.5 X 15 tires mounted looking to put on a new set.
Thanks!

You should really know whether you have a 2" body lift on it or not before asking "what size tires". Very easy to tell. If you don't know how to tell just ask up and we'll let you know.

You might want to stick with 31's unless you want your speedometer to be off. You might be able to run 32's but they'll probably rub the fenders when turning if you hit a bump. Then you'll have some nice gashes in your tread and that doesn't look good on brand new tires.

Thank you everyone.

I'm still amazed you don't have a clue if you have a lift or not. Bigger tires mean more ground clearance.

I'm gonna guess you don't worry about going offroad and more of how pretty you look in the local shopping mall.

Yes, this post was a bit mean spirited but no offense meant.
