285/70/17 on 2nd gen?

[Mtparker18]

Can someone confirm they'll fit? I've heard they will and they don't.

 

[sgtowing]

you'll need to do the 3/2 lift.

 

[ExpyPlowGuy]

They'll fit on the rear with no lift but they will rub in the front. I would suggest atleast 2.5 spacer in the front. I was running just the 2.5 in the front and had rubbing until I went with the 3/2

 

[Mtparker18]

If I go with a 3/2 lift, what size 35 can I fit on the stock rim?

 

[sgtowing]

If you go by what the tire manufactures say, the widest you can go is a 285. I have seen 305 put on but you get the balloon effect.

I dont know tire sizes but with a 3/2 on a 4x4 you can fit 35s on oem rims. After market rims you do need to do some cutting to the lower valence but nothing to bad. On the 4x2's 33s are the biggest.

I have the 4x4 so I guess I can go with 35's when I do my 3/2. I'm not sure how to figure out tire sizes, but what should I go with? I know it's going to be 35/(need to know)/17

What is the middle number to go with?

35 12.5 17

35 12.5 17

Hey Sol, are you sure about that? I thought 12.5 would be to wide. I thought 11.5 is the widest you can go without trimming. That's like a 305

For some reason Im thinking about Nitto Terra Grapplers, but according to Nittos site a 305/70/17 is a 33" tire and a 325/70/17 is a 35"

I think Nittos run smaller though from what I was told.

So now I'm bing told 35's won't fit. So I've decided to drop to a 33" tire. Would 33x10.5/17 fit?

Who is telling you this? Here is proof that they do. He is a member here. These are even mud grapplers that have a very agg. thread pattern and they still fit. Here is the thread if you need it.

i know 315s will fit

The biggest problem is the rears are going to hit the running boards. I was thinking either remove them or cut them. Plus I'll be running stock wheels, if that makes a difference.

well on the pick above the boards are gone

Removed the running boards. If your running oem rims then you might not even have to trim anything.
