Default Looking for biggest tires without rubbing at 2" lift

I've done a lot of research but came across a guy who has 32" tires on a 2" lift. Is this a possibility? Going for some m/t tires with a 2" suspension lift. Thanks for any help.

265/75 16 is the size most people run, I run them with no lift and don't have any rub. They are about a 31.6"

Yep. I'm going to lift mine soon. What tires are you looking at? MTs on a daily driver will get loud. I have BFG all terrains and they are as quiet as street tires and great traction

I've seen guys as big as 33s without trimming on that much lift. I ran 32s at stock height (well, 31.6, but I round up) with no rubbing or trimming.

Anyone that says they aren't rubbing with 32/33's and no trimming isn't leaving the pavement. My 235/85's rub on 2" lift when the tire compresses. And I'm not talking rock crawling, I'm talking a heavily rutted public road.
This is 2" HD springs and 265/75/16's. You can tell where they're going to rub.

And the same setup with a conservative "camel cut".

And this is why you need to trim.

Brad, I just recently purchased and installed the biggest tires I thought I could put on without getting rub. 255/75 R18 Is what I have.
