tire width with stock wheel?

05singlecabHEMI · Oct 6, 2011

I wanna get new tires soon. Mine just dont fit the look i want.
I have the stock 17" chrome wheels. Whats the widest tire i can i fit? Im not so good with conversion so if you Can put it in metric that would be great. I am at work. So it may take a couple hours for me to respond to any questions.

Thanks
Nick

i have 305's on stock 17's you may be able to fit 315's on stock wheels but im not sure

05singlecabHEMI · Oct 6, 2011

I think i could fit 33s not sure what that is in metric lol. I want it to look agressive. And my tires look tiny how they are.
Bryan, i have the other 17s

33's are 285's, 285/75 = 33 x 11.5

i have the 315 and they do rub a little bit, just barely.

On metric first number is width and second number is aspect ratio

I have 305/70/17 with no rubbing problems. But my truck has t bars cranked a little. Previous owner told me he had 315/70/17 on this truck with no problems, but t bars were cranked all the way and it was a rougher ride, according to him.

I posted a similar topic last week and received mixed reviews. I have the same wheel as you and am looking to do the exact same thing, however I have a 2" level in the front. FWIW, I was told 285/70/17 is the widest we could go, any wider would rub unless we ran 1/4"+ spacers. Hope this helps.

Soo they stopped teaching sae? Thats a shame, how about miles and kilometers, or ferenheit and celcius? I'm no genius at conversion either, but the other way lol.

my highschool didnt have any fun classes... id love it if there was an automotive class.

still not sure on what size tire im gonna get, or what tire. it takes me a long while to make my damn mind up on things. i hate spending money, but love spending it on my truck. haha!

rocket · Oct 18, 2011

Ya cant get much wider than 35 inch tires, I have 34's with a 10 inch foot print I think. Never really checked just know I don't have a rub. It's close though lol.
I had some neat classes when I went lol.btw

05singlecabHEMI · Oct 18, 2011

i have 245s on it now, but looks small. i think thats like 31s? or something. i was thinking 33s and maybe 10inches deep.

my fun class was electronic, just cause it was when i was building my robot and didnt have to do my work and still got an A in the class lol.

285/70/17 would be a good choice for you

^sounds about the normal upgraded size for the 17's. Nick have you picked out a few styles you want because some companys skip around the sizing chart.
