I'm in the process of finishing up the 3" PA Body lift install and I need some help picking my tires. I'm most likely getting a set from my neighbor which are Beadlock 33s, but I wanted to get new (larger) tires for the stock 17s just in case that deal falls through. I'm kind of clueless when it comes to wheels and tires so I need some help picking out a larger tire for the stock 17s. Basically my question is what is the largest tire I can fit on these 17s? I really want a larger more aggressive tire (like nittos or BFGs) but I'm not sure what size will work or not. Below is a pic of the install. Please help.

 

You should post some more pics of your truck with the new lift

 

35's will fit with just a leveling kit.....

 

I would like to but for some reason i can't add anymore pics to my albums in the User CP, I'll definitley have completed pics by Sunday but I guess I'll need to add them as attachments or something.

 

I know I can fit 35" with the lift but what I don't know is how wide I can go with the stock rims. I'm just wondering what to get to fit these rims but at the same time increase the tire size. Can I go wider than the whats on there now. This is the part where I get confused.

 

just researched and found that once I hit 50 posts I can add more photos. Guess I'll need to talk more. More pics to come

 

I know that 4.7ram has a 4by and he's running a 295/70/17 on a stock rim. Yes, it's only a 33 but the width is 11.6" and it's TIGHT. I'm running the same on my 2wd but I have about a 1/2" clearance from the uca. I'd say 11.5" or so would be the max you'd want to look at on stock 17's unless you got a wheel spacer to push the rim out a little.

 

What do you have on there now? 265/70/17? I believe you can get as big as 305 or 325 wide but you may need spacers, plus with that wide your gonna have some tire hangin out of your fender well and you may want to consider fender flares.

 

Just get a photobucket account. Then you can post pictures from the link there and you don't have to store them on here.

 

good point, that would be quicker, anyway back to the tire question, what is the maximum wide I can put on the stock 17s without them rubbing the control arms
