Does anyone have a max tire size for these trucks with the 17" rim. In my search I see a lot of max tire size for the 20" but not much for the 17". Anyone have any pictures? Looking for an Mud Terrain. Hoping 285/70/17 will fit.

Another question is does anyone know if the tire pressure system can have the values lowered? Say if I want to set the warning at 34 psi instead of 43

Hi streak,

I wouldn't go much bigger than stock if you are using factory rims. If you go with after markets and get some negative offset in them then you could go larger. As for the TPMS should trigger at 36 psi not 43. Did someone put a tune in it?

285/70-17 should fit fine. That's the same diameter of the factory tires for the 20" rims but a little wider.

I purchased the truck recently from a dealer, one of the things on the car fax was reflashed computer.

Now I'm more baffled on the tire size. I don't want to go up width wise but tire height.

Any issues running the bigger tires on stock rims with the upper control arm?

I may get different rims on the future but right now Budget doesn't allow and looking to add some height for snow.
