Default TIRES ?????

Time for tires. 2006 not lifted. What is the largest 17" tire I can put on without lifting? Any suggestions.

35x12.50/17. you will slightly rub, but ONLY at full lock of the steering wheel. but like i said, the rub is very slight.

I just installed a set of Wild Country Radial XTX Sports LT285-70/17.
They are 8 Ply and not 10 ply. But they have a good pay load rating. They
carry 65psi and that makes them react and handle just like 10 ply's.
I made the mistake and went with a lighter 8 ply and they gave my truck the
death wobble.....they stayed on for 3 weeks or so and came off. Live and learn.
The Wild Country's look sharp and handle well.....that's my 2 cents!

I have the 305/65/17 procomp xtreme ATs and have had absolutely no problem. They are roughly equal to 33x12.50s. Any bigger would likely rub at full turn or when flexing hard.

my lift sequence and tires.
1- stock all around NO ISSUE
2- leveling kit with 35 1250 bfg muddersFender rub at lock hitting 8" bump. recovery mission of santa fe and suburban
3- 6" superlift with 35 1250 bfg mudders Because of offset of rims making contact with arid dam on front of outside tire.
4- 6" superlift with 315 70 R 17 procomp extreme mudders No issueswith contacting
5- 8" rize industries with 315 70 R 17 procomp extreme muddersNo issues with contact just looked funny
6- 8" rize with 37 1250 R17 Hankook Mt rT03 No contacting issues just stupidity slowing my trucks roll.

because of this I would not recommend any thing larger thana 33" tire on a 4" back spacing rim.

I'm running 35x13.50x20 ProComp Extreme A/T with a 5.25" back spacing rim and its a little too big. No rubbing at full lock when you are on flat ground. The wheels are within 1/4" of the fender. Any bump and the wheels do rub.
