Well its time to get new tires and I need a front end alignment. So I figured I would level my truck while I was at it. Now I know that after I level my truck I will be able to fit 35's. What I want to know now is will 12.50's fit on 17x8in wheels. My buddy says they will but a 12.50 tire on an 8 in wheel seems a little to wide. I have done some research and it looks as though everything I find says I need an 8.5 in wheel. Is this true or will they work on the 8 inch wheel?

 

i think there are a couple guys runnin these on their stock rims... i know a few hd's are idn how wide are rims are though..... however i am assuming you have a 1500 and with a 1500 and just a leveling kit i would recomend 33's or 285/70 r17 because a 35 would barely fit and wouldnt give you much room for suspension travel...

 

no that i searched through your posts i can see you drive an 04 ram 1500.. just make a sig its easier... i would also imagine it being a 4x4 hemi.. might of said it i dont remember.... it would look good with 35's but if you plan on offroading you wont have the same travel.... this is a webmaster's truck from another site he has a readylift and 35's.....

Yea I need to get around to making a sig. I don't plan on doing any offroading with it. I have a jeep CJ that I use for that. I just want it to look good. And I know down the line I will most likely need longer shocks.

 

well than its your call they will fit will look good.. might rub a little not too sure.....

 

As long as they will fit on the 17x8in wheels Im all for it.

 

yea they can fit on 17x8 rims... go to www.procomptires.com and check their chart....

90% of Jeepers run 12.50s on 8" rims.
