Hi:

Does someone know which is the biggest size of tire I can put on a 2010 with OEM 17'' rims? It comes with 265x65R17.

How big its acceptable without rub!

Well thanks for all your comments.

I'm not sure, but I'm going for some Goodyear Wrangler AT Extreme, 275/70R17, $158.00 each at Tirerack. Dang the rubbing....

 

Hi:

Those are you talking about are suppose to be higher or wider from 265/65/17?
As I can see both right?

Thanks

Victor

 

yes they are higher and wider. Somewhere on here is a tire size calculator.

 

Here is a tire size calculator.

Hi:

I was looking specs. of my tires and the one you're planing to buy,
they have a very different size, for example the 265 have 30.6" high but the 275 is 32.4" or so, is a difference of almost 2'', without any lift kit I think it will rub everywhere specially in the front at the back of the tire on the mud flap ( I really don't know the exact name).

On the web is sold a front lift kit is really a leveling kit to have the same height in the front, it lift your truck 2 '' with them installed they say can be installed a 32'' tire...

They are not cheap I have seem them for 130.00. and the installation seems to be easy I used to have this spacer in my old 2006 chevy colorado.

I can't do it because mine still with warranty and if I install one of those the warranty may be cancel.

thanks

If your truck is 4x4, it has front struts and the leveling kit installation is best left to professionals who have the correct equipment (wall mounted spring compressor). You are correct, I believe without the leveling kit, a 32" tire would rub. I was out looking yesterday and the stock tires have about 1" between them and the factory flap, so a 265 is probably the tallest tire that can be installed without the leveling kit, or a body lift. Maybe I'll go wider instead. I've heard both good and bad things said about the leveling kit on 4x4's, mostly causing premature CV failure.

 

Hi:

As I said my last truck was a chevy colorado, with a 2'' lift kit installed in the
front and rear, it was 2wd. At the end of the year I have to replace the upper an lower ball joints as well as the drive shaft support.
It cost me $350.00 doing the job by my self!
So I going to be very careful in do the same to this one, I really don't want to pass this problem again!!
But definitely the trucks looks awesome!!

though I know most of you know this, the 265 or 275 number is the width of the tire, not the height. This number is actually the width in millimeters. The height is calculated by two things. The second number (usually 65, 70 or 75 in our case of trucks) is the sidewall height as a percentage of the width. In addiiton you must add in the size of the rim.

For example: A 265/65/17 tire is actually taller than a 285/50/17.

Also, a 265/65/17 tire is taller than a tire that is 265/65/16.

Just thought I would throw that in here.
