Hey Guys,

I have a 2010 Ram crew cab and looking to beef up my tires a little bit. Im currently running 285/70/17 Goodyear Duratrac and I feel like the look a little small in the wheel wells so time to upgrade. (plus they are wearing out pretty bad...)

I just received a Rough Country 2.5" Leveling kit and I currently have Dale Earnhardt Jr. Cannon 117x8.5 Wheels, 17", which have a -6 offset.

I want to get the biggest tire I can fit in there. Im debating between Mickey Thompson MTZ or Toyo MT (if I find a good deal...) From what I`ve read on several threads is I should be able to fit 315/70/17 considering I have -6 offset but I want to make sure they will fit before I pull the trigger. 35"x12.5 would be even better but I have a feeling those won't fit. Maybe you guys can correct me.

Thanks!

Moved this to the exterior section because it's about wheels not lift

Actually I think you can fit 35 x12.5

Well, just saw something interesting on the Mickey Thompson website.. turns out 315/70R17 and 35" x 12.5 R 17 are the same tire. I was wondering why some sites sold one and others the other...
