What size tire

arsenault408 · Nov 29, 2016

My truck already has a 2in lift says the previous owner with just stock size tires and I don't like having that much wheel well what can I fit under there some say 295/65/20 and some say 35/12.50/20 and some say a 35/12.50/20 won't fit so what can I put ? I was thinking if I can get my hands on nitto's 35/11.50/20 would do it

Only one way to find out.... I run 315.70.17 and got a 2 inch spacer lift and a heavy bumper with worn Springs and plenty of space

Will be fine with 2" lift but would rub with fully turning but not annoying. My advice get any tire with 34".

Would I be safe running levelled with 12.50 wide on stock 20 inch rims

I have done everywhere from a 275/60(stock) to 35x12.50 on those trucks i tell the customer it depends what they do for driving. if they are offroad lots i try and steer them towards a smaller tire so they don't have to worry about rubbing.

Don't do much off road would I be able to fit 12.50 wide on stock wheels ?

No you can't, you need a wheel with low back spacing. In other word, try a wheel with ZERO offset or lower.

What about a 11.50 ?

On my 2014 1500 4x4, I had Bilsteins set at 1.4" and I was running 295/60r20 Nitto Terra Grapplers on stock 20" wheels.

I had about 1/4" between the wheel and UCA. The only time I rubbed was at full turn and going over uneven terrain. On the street I was fine. If you're going with street tires or regular ATs, you should be fine with 295/60r20. That's about a 34x11.50. You might get away with a 295/65r20, but I can't confirm that.

I put both numbers in a tire conversion and the only difference was the 295/65/20 was a 35.1 in tall and the 295/60/20 was 33.9 tall the width stayed the same at 11.6

Was thinking of a 4in lift in the future till I looked into the lift laws for my province. Looks like I'll be staying with a levelling kit by law we can't increase the bumper height by 10cm. Sounds stupid if you ask me

Any reason that PEI came up with this notion?

I hope it doesn't catch on with the rest of the provinces in Canada.

Not 100% sure but heard cause it was too dangerous for other drivers in accidents

arsenault408 · Dec 28, 2016

But what I can't understand is the Ford dealer and so is the GM dealer is putting out trucks with BDS and rough country lifts that look bigger then a 2in levelling kit. I've also email department of transportation and ask why could we only do a levelling kit. He emailed me back saying that the increase bumper height makes it dangerous for other vehicles. So I emailed him back asking if he thought it'd be ever changed in the future he said not likely
