I got a flat on my way back from work and decided it may be time to pull the trigger on a level and bigger tires. I have the stock 265/70R17 tires and want to go up to something in the 33-34" range. The majority of my driving is on the highway and I'd prefer to stay away from the big heavy M/T's.
Here are my questions. I'm sure it's been asked before, so pardon my rush for answers as I sit here in the shop trying to figure out what to order before closing time.
1. With a 1.5" front level, how big can I go in tire diameter without rubbing?
2. How wide of a tire can I safely install on the 17" factory rims?
3. What tires do you recommend in the 33-34" size range (A/T preferred).
4. Do I need to buy the speedo calibration tool or can I reprogram for larger tires without it?
I've got a 16' XLT 2.7l EB with a 2.5" RC level. I ordered my Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx 295/70r18's today. They're measuring a little over 34" tall and 11" wide. Gonna try and put them on tomorrow. I'll let you know how they fit! As far as A/T, I don't think there is a better looking one. My opinion. Take a look!

Subscribed...curious how this fitment will work out
Well, absolutely ZERO rubbing. I've done everything possible to try and make them rub! 295/70r18 Cooper Discoverer Maxx with a 2.5" RC leveling spacer in front. I'll have better pics tomorrow but I am thrilled. Rides like a dang dream!
