Rim size?

I have a stock 2006 4x4 Toyota Tundra 4door, v8. It has factory rims and tires on it now. I added a leveling kit to the front and new shocks all around. I would like to install bigger rims and tires but do not want to add a lift kit at this time. Any ideas on what size rim I can go up to and still be able to turn the wheel without the tire rubbing on something? Also, steel vs. alloy? Why one over the other, if both are available in the same color and style.
Thanks in advance.

With a leveling kit you can typically upsize your tires 1 to 2 sizes.

Stick with aluminum. They are lighter. Less rotating weight means better fuel economy, acceleration, and braking.

check your leveling kits website for overall diameter recommendations. unless your doing some crazy offroading id also go with alloy. steels are only recommended if your doing allot of offroading

Pick a good line and keep the rubber down. TDSSD
