max tire for 17 inch rims

[traci]

i'm totally addicted to your site. i've been reading through the forums for two hours. i've got to get back to work.

as i said, i've been going through trying to find out if i can safely put a 265/65/17 on my truck. no way am i going to lift my truck, though. my husband lifted his silverado and i gave him so much crap about it that he would laugh me off the face of the earth if i told him i wanted to do the same!

he even put a lift kit on our 4-wheeler!

i don't do any off-roading on purpose. i have found a soft shoulder or two that needed a little help from a certain husband's winch. i'm glad i got him that one because i sure got my money's worth!

at any rate, sorry about the ramble. i would like to put the yokohamas on it, but i don't want to cause a problem with rubbing, etc. i still have the original bfg's with 72K and i guess they just look a little small compared to my husband's truck and the 4-wheeler. i would like something a little more "redneck!!!"

any suggestions would be great!

thanks

I have 265/70R17 on my truck, but I needed wheel spacers to get them on because of the upper control arm. I don't think you can get 65's on there without spacers, either. But you wouldn't need any kind of lift.

HTH.

Since he likes lifting his trucks I am sure that he has asked about lifting yours, the next time he asks just act like you're giving in and let him lift it. :yes:

I had no issues using 265/65 tires...no rubbing nor spacers used with this tire combo needed.....J
