Re: what is the largest tire i can use on stock frame?
well it depends on what rims you are thinking of. stock rims with 37's will normally clear. i have 17" Xd addicts with 4.5 in of backspace i believe with 37x13.5x17 ss m16's and have no rub but i also have the truxxx level kit. If you go with anything over an 18 in rim id stick with 35" tires 37's will rub. but just get the GM green keys or a torsion lift and 37's should fit just fine. keep in mind though each rig is a bit different. some have rubbing others dont. just depends on the rig

Big Z do you have any pics of your rig posted on the forum ? I have 4.5 backspacing also and was just curious to see yours.

37s are fine - IF - you have a decent alignment done. If you get a rub, then it's the alignment, not your tires.
I would occassionally get a rub on an incline with a sharp turn, but it was never enough to damage anything.
