At the point where I need tires for my build. Its a California Clipper with a 1 inch body lift. Swing axle/king pin. I have Appliance Pacer rims to go on it that measure about 16 1/8" tall and 10-11 inches wide in the rear. Fronts appear to be 15 1/8' tall and 6 inches wide. Can anybody tell me what size tire I can run without rubbing the body when the suspension is bottomed out? I just cant seem to wrap my head around it. Additionally I have my heart set on BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2's for the rear and something cheap on the front, maybe the All terrains, haven't decided. I hope they make a size to fit these rims.

Thank you!!

From your description, I believe that you have a 14" diameter front rim, possibly a 5" width between rim flanges, and a 15" diameter rear rim with a 10" width between rim flanges - take a look here for more precise rim measurement description...
