I'm running 255/70/17 and had to trim fenders. I still rub on the frame. This is on a 17x9 rim with 7" backspacing, though, which puts me about an inch further out than stock. I did an add-a-leaf in the back and am installing ZR2 t-bars in the front. We'll see if I have any more trouble after they are in. 265/70 would be pretty big, roughly a 31.6" tire.

You can go here to plug in the numbers you want/need to find 31": CLICK

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo2 is an excellent tire and was among my top choices. Mdehoogh just picked up a set of used regular Revos and he seems to like them. I went with Firestone Destination A/Ts because they were slightly lower in price than the Revos at the time.

yeah i wish i had to tools and experience to do a 2 or 3 inch body lift. think i can handle the t crank and shackles. lol
thanks for the help yeah 31.6 is pushing it i think. think i might keep it under 31 255/65 or 60 should look good. that size calculator help a lot. lol

ok i went to discount tires right by my house to get some prices. i told them that i wanted 17's and to get A/T tires install on them. they told me that they dont make A/T tires that size to fit my truck with that size rim and if i want A/T tires i need to keep my 15's

What about 245/70/17? Looks like it's about 30.5x9.5 and most of the highly rated tires are all available in that size. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...r=17&x=18&y=13

I have the Bridgestone Revo's (not revo2) and so far, they've been excellent. Just had a chance this past week to test on ice and snow and they worked very well.

I got my wheels from The wheel Group and my tires from North Central Tire I put ION Alloy 15X8 Style 174 wrapped with Kell Safari TSR 235/75R15 now I had put a 2" body lift and shave my fenders back a little to clear the new tires and wheels so be careful and watch your offset.

ok i went a different way. since i didn't want to pay money for new 15's i went for 20's. I'm keep my stock 15's for when the day comes when i want to go Off road and slap some AT on. So now I'm getting Helo 845 black 20x8.5 wrap in 255/45 Falken FK 452.

Pics Coming Soon
