Tire and wheel fitment guide for 04-08
Hey everybody. So I have a 2006 4x4 with a 2" leveling kit and am running 285/70r17 and am having no rubbing issues. I have factory 6 lug 17" rims an d want to upgrade to 315/70r17 or 35/12.5r17 tires. I know the 35s are about a half an inch larger than the 315su and would like to keep my factory rims. Will thy rub? If so what is the max backspacing I could get if I got new rims? Thanks for th input everybody.

Me and my friend just got a 345/75/16 mounted on his 8.5" wide rim. That's a 13.50
Im not sure how your 8.5" rim applys to a 7.5" stock rim. 1" of rim does not equal 1" of tire width its normally about 1.55".look at all the tire manufacturers web sites they tell you the rim needed. 1.55x7.5 wide rim is 11.625. 1.5x8.5 wide is 13.175 so I'm not suprised you fit a 13.5 on a 8.5 rim.
