XLT4x4

Lookin at gettin new tires and i would like to get some 315 70s or 305 65s. problem is i dont want them rubbing so i know im gunna need some after market rims. Would 17x8 or 17x9 be what i need to keep the tires from rubbing and also not stickin out too far?

Thanks for any help

The 17x8 wheel with 5-1/2 inches of BS stick's out only 1/2" more then stock and is the best wheel to fit 35's on a leveled 4x4 without rubbing. The more you stick out in the front the more chances to rub on the lower wheelwell.

315x70x17 BFG AT's on 17x8 American Racing Crush wheels.

PAW PAW,

question??? does ur truck shown have the 315/70R17's or 295/70R17's?
I see the 315 listed as a note, but the profile says 295's..

how about a 2010 F150 with 17x9's with 4.5 BackSpacing and -11 offset?

will the 315/70R17 fit? or a 305/70R17? dont mind having to trim the "plastic on the lower fender" a little...

how is "Gas Mileage" and "power"??

I have the 315/70R17 on my stock 17 inch rims.Backspacing on stock rims are perfect for 35's.The only trimming i had to do was the plastic bumber valence.

The pic was a few year's ago when I had the 315 BFG's on. I have the same wheels now but with the 295 Toyo MT's on. A stock wheel or one with close to stock specs is ideal to run a 35" tire as long as it's not too wide. The more you stick out in the front the more chances to rub with only a leveling kit. A programmer will help the truck's performance but expect a 1 to 2 mpg drop mainly in city driving.

This pic is the 315's on 17x9 wheels with 5 inches of BS and they rubbed when turning, not bad but aggravating so I bought different wheels and no more rubbing. This pic was taken almost 5 yrs ago!
