I know this sticky is mainly for fitment on lifted/leveled trucks, but I'm wondering if a 275/40/17 tire would fit on a 17x8.5" wheel? It is the stock 17" wheel that comes on the XL's. I am looking at some Nitto NT05R drag radials to throw on there and want to make sure they would fit. Any help is greatly appreciated.
So i skimmed through a lot of those 508 pages but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for... I have a 2010 4x4 Platinum. Currently at stock height and has stock rims. I will be purchasing new 20x9 rims (stock ones are 20x8.5), and will also be buying 285/65r20 nitto terra grappler g2s. I just ordered a 2.5" front level with a 1.5" rear block. My question is on the offset for this specific set up I got going here. I want the tire to stick out on the sides an inch at most. I also do not want to have to deal with any modifications like trimming or anything. Which would work better for me, the +20 mm offset or +01 mm offset? It would be great if anyone with these tires or similar ones could share some pictures and advice along with their offsets!
Hey man - don't take this as gospel since I am not running the exact setup you are looking at, but here's my two cents: I have a 2014 with a 2" level in the front, nothing in the back. I had this same issue a few months ago when I switched out my wheels and tires. I wanted a much bigger tire with better performance, but didn't want to take a can opener to the wheel wells of my truck. I currently run 275/65/20, so the ones you want will be a hair wider. In my personal experience on my own truck and dealing with tons of other trucks, most of the tire sizing problems come from the outermost part of the wheel well, so the lower the offset is, the more likely a larger tire is to cause problems. Again, that isn't always true, but that creates way more problems on a 34-35" tire (like the one you're looking at). Long story short: keep the offset a little higher, or in my opinion, go with the +20, that is what mine are. Also keep in mind the tire will probably sit up to a half inch lower than listed on the company's website, and you'll most likely need to do some trimming on the valance plastic up front but it is super easy. Hope this helps and would love to see the finished product.
So I'm needing some help..... Looking to buy some tires for my crew cab xlt 4x4 and the suspension is stock. How wide and tall tire can I go with an all terrain or mud tire? I've got stock FX4 20" rims on it wrapped in street pirellis 275 60 R20's but want a beefier look while keeping those wheels with no rub! Help please
