Can I put a 35/12.5/17 tire on my 17 steel rim that came for the spare? Or is the tire going to be to wide for the steel rim?

How wide is the wheel? Is your truck a 1500 or 2500? Do you tow?

My brother’s jeep has 12 inch wide tired on a 7 inch wide wheel, runs just fine but it’s always either on gravel roads or in the mud, and never tows. Need more info before we can recommend much. I would suspect yes but I’m not going to say that matter-of-fact.

From my Sierra I bought some 7 inch wide wheels, and when I get tires I’m going to go 10 wide because it does see some occasional towing, and I don’t want to stretch too far. So different cases will dictate what you can get away with.

The above information requested is needed. Need to know the width of your rim to be able to determine if the preferred tire can be mounted successfully. Are rims original equipment, and what is tire size printed on door jamb?

Thanks for the reply’s, not sure why it didn’t alert me. Sorry if took so long to get back. It the stock steel spare rim I wanted to put a full size tire on. I believe the rim is 8inches.
