With the 20" rims you can go as big as 295-65-20 before you have any issues with rubbing. I've even heard of people getting away with 35x12.5x20's with wheel spacers or more negative offset rims.

Click to expand...

If those are the same 17" wheels that are on other trims, I believe a 285/75 would be the biggest you can go before you start rubbing the control arm on the backside of the tire. You'll technically be out of spec for wheel width on that width of tire, but shouldn't be a problem.

I have a set of 285/75/17 I'm waiting to mount up on my '15 Tradesman. They're close to a 34"X11.5" tire.

Yeah 285/75R17 i would say is the biggest and safest to run on the stock 17's someone I seen was running 37/12.5 on them with 2" wheel spacers but I wouldn't do that
