New here, hello all! I came across a set of wheels on Facebook marketplace. They’re basically brand new and I picked them up for $200. They’re a set of gear 713 double pump. Specs: 17x9, 30 offset, 6.18 backspacing. My question is what is the biggest tire I can run? I was thinking 295/70/17 or 33x12.5 but haven’t been able to find much. Could/should I even go bigger or smaller? My truck came stock with the 18s and 275/65/18 tires. I also put a wheel on just to make sure they fit, pattern wise and around the hardware they do however my old lugs did not fit. I found some smaller size diameter gorilla lugs on Facebook and wanted to make sure thats all I needed was smaller diameter lugs. I can post pictures of the wheels and a link to the manufacturers website as well as a link for the lug nuts. I also believe the factory offset is 44 with a wheel size of 18x7.5. If anyone has a similar setup let me know! I have a 2 inch level in the front and air bags in the rear, thanks!

I'm at 285/70 at +25 on 17x9, plenty of room to run 295/70. A 33x12.5 could potentially rub, depends on how wide the tire is at the shoulders.

Thanks, I figured the width might be an issue so I’ll go with height. Any pictures of how the 25 offset looks on your truck? Also any lug nuts you’d recommend?

I went with the Gorilla black lugs.

I’m running 315/70r17 on 2.5 fox leveling kit (2 inch level). Had to remove crash bars and a decent amount of trimming. The only time I rub in daily driving is when I’m at full turn and hit a bump like a drive way, otherwise no rubbing. I prefer more room for articulation when off-roading so I’d recommend going with a 3 inch lift if you want to go bigger than 33s.

Thank you guys! Mines a 2015 XLT super cab so it doesn’t have the crash bars. I’m thinking I can get away with a 305 or even 315. I’ve even seen some pictures of guys running 35s but I guess it’ll all depend on how the wheels fit when I take it in for the tires. The wheels are 17x9 with a 30 offset and 6.83 backspacing. I’m not too keen on how offset and backspacing works so I guess I’ll find out come spring when I get new tires. Just wanted to get an idea

Just figured I’d post the final outcome, I ended up with 35s (315/70/r17) they didn’t have the 35/12.5s in when I went. Also got a used cap for $400 from an 09-14 that I was able to make work on mine!

So the wheels were a +30?

apuskar41

Yep! I believe raptors come from the factory with a +33 and all others are +44. I have no rubbing and I’m on a 2 inch level with airbags in the rear and I’m running a 315/70r17
