How large of a tire can I put on my stock 16" wheels with out screwing things up.

265's fit nice, 285's fit but you might get a bit of rubbing. You should crank the torsion bars a bit for either. The OEM rims are not really meant to take tires this wide but everyone does it.

All that room under there? Can I go to larger rims and have things recailibrated along with the TB's cranked All this truck on those little sneackers. GM should have in my opinion done a little better with stock rims and tires

Gm won't recalibrate for 285s. Get a predator or similar programmer and it will do it.

Go read in the tires section, and the suspension section. You should find a lot about what you are thinking about...
