even though the ideal tire size for my rims er 315/70/17 could i still fit some pro comp 35/12,5/17 tires on there?

 

And if you ignore the reference to regearing, you will be back with bigger problems....just saying....

 

Even though the ideal tire size for my wheels are 315/70/17 can I still run some 35x12,5x17 pro comp tires on them?

 

ok yeah i am already working on the rear gearing, but do you believe that the tires will fit?

 

JIC its not clear, you'll wanna regear the front dif as well. 4.56 is recommended for 35" tires.

 

Where do you get that the "ideal tire size" are those?


If the OP is planning on doing up to some 10% of towing, then I'd agree with you. Other than that the recommendation ends there.

He already has 4.10s which can handle 35s w/o issue. Of course, that is only based on my own experience. Are you saying (based on your sig) then you wish you had 4.56s?

Probably some more specific input from you would lend weight.

 

+1 Not just your op mine as well.

Edit: Towing with 4.56 has only one advantage and that it helps get moving ezer, but at hwy speed out of od the motors at 2800+ rpm and thats at 55mph, bump it up to 75 mph and that rpm goes even higher. I just sit there and watch the gas gauge go down.

 

I will mostly be using the truck driving through the woods getting out to my deer stands and also, slight bit of towing every once in a while!

The reason why I would like to know wether the 35x12,5x17 pro comp tires also will fit is because I just got a great deal on a set of those tires!

Thanks for the help y'all!!
