So, yes, another tire thread, need help with my sizing. I want to get 33 - 35 inch tires, somehwere in there, and with 17" rims. Right now, the truck (2010 XLT) has the 265/70/r17s and stock rims. I am going to be putting a hellbent steel 2" leveling kit on the front, and have found out that for 33 - 35 inch tires i need 295-315/70/r17 tires and more than likely aftermarket rims.

So i want to prevent any rubbing just like anyone else, so what size backspacing and other rim numbers should i look for in the rims? Also, i do NOT want them to stick out of the wheel wells so keep that in mind, if i have to change sizes a bit i can live with that.

Thanks all...done a good bit of reading and used tire comparisons, but its hard to tell exactly what is needed to avoid rubbing.

Also, anyone that knows of a good shop in San Antonio to install a leveling kit please let me know, looking for good price (as usual) but more importantly, good quality work and good service.

 

ive got an '02 and ive got 285/75/r16 on it...not sure how much different the spacing for the 2010 wheel wells are and if the truck is at the same height...honestly the 2010s dont look as high off the ground.

my tires fit with about an inch or less of space between them and the bumper valance when i turn fully to either side...i just cranked my torsion bars up last week about an 1.5" to level the truck out a little more and it gave me a little more clearance between the valance and the tires when i turn them fully....not sure if this helps
