Since I'm lifted I'm curious what the largest tire I can put on the 17" wheel or is the only way to go aftermarket? I like the stockwheels actually.
Thanks

If you're using the stock wheels, then clearance shouldn't be a problem with whatever will fit on the rim. The most important thing IMO is the overall height. You want to keep it close to stock so that the speedo will stay correct and your gearing won't be affected.
Go to http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...foTireMath.jspat Discount Tire and plug in your stock size. Plug in bigger size tires to find out which larger sizes have the same (or close) outside diameter. I try to keep the overall difference in speed shown at 65 mph to less than a 2 mph difference.
If the original is a 245/70R17, looks like a 285/60R17 would be perfect.
I went from the stock Goodyear275/70R20 to Yokohama Parada Spec-X 305/50R20's and they fit just fine, ride much better andlook awesome!

I believe the speedo has already been adjusted before I got it for 35" tires. It already has 456 gears also. SO I'm just trying to find sizes that would be around 35" I guess

I just replaced my 265's with 285's. The tires are about 1"+ taller and wider and I don't have any rub issues. Theydo 'balloon' slightly. My only dislike is that they float abitwhen I travel on the highway orunder harsh steering conditions.
