I'm putting a 3" lift in soon but I need Tires NOW. So I can't get the lift now.
What is the tallest tire that can be mounted and not scrape? Even if I have to trim plastic.

I was in the same spot you are in this past winter. I went ahead and got the tires in spite of my friends advice not to - I only rode for a week on the new tires without the lift. The 31's I bought only rubbed at the outer limits of steering. I didn't attempt any offroading until I put the lift on and the only problem I had was making u-turns, and that was without any trimming. If you're not far off from getting your lift kit you probably won't have that much trouble.

with no lift at all 30s are about it with no trimming. You could get 31s on but you will have to trim possibly some sheet metal
