I just got my new wheels and tires on and after first glance I am wondering if maybe I could have gone bigger. On a 2001 supercrew lariat 4x4 I put 33x12.5 Procomp AT's on Mickey Thompson Classic II's 17x9. The AT's actually only measure 32.4, and I am wowndering if maybe I should have gone with the 35x12.5 which actually measures 34.85. Or maybe something like the BFG AT 315/70/17 which I think measures 34.6 or 34.8. Is anyone running 35's on 17x9 or 17x10 rims with no lift? I have seen a few 35's with stock wheels which makes me wonder. Oh yeah and sorry for onceagain asking what has to be the most asked question on the site..

 

The 285\70\17 is prolly the biggest u wanna do without a lift. I ran that size on a 16 inch rim with a 3 inch lift for a while. I have 6 inchs of lift now and I run 35"s now, if u could fit it without a lift it would look really crammed. But its ur call man check out some of the galleries and see.

 

All the 35's I've seen on stock 4x4's have been mounted on the OEM wheels. MShane is gonna try to fit his 315/70-17's on 17x9 wheels, so if they fit it will be the first time I've seen it. I think you have the best setup now.

 

I personally don't think this looks too cramed.... Should have the 17x9 Maxx 6s tomorrow so I will get pics up soon....

 

cant wait to see those pics when you get them on.

 

that looks sweet!

 

No that doesnt look too crammed at all. Doesnt the FX4 sit higher up though than a stock 4X4??

 

My truck isn't actually an FX4. It's an 01 Off Road Package and they didn't start the FX4 till 02. I just put the logos on the box because I liked they way they looked compared to the 4X4 OFF ROAD stickers that were stock.

 

right on

 

No, they sit at the same height.
The only difference is the "different" shocks and the logos and trim.

 

mshane1.... any rubbing in the front when turning? Or maybe when you hit bumps/offroad?

 

None at all with the stock wheels. Although I did some trimming in anticipation of the 17x9 Helos. I thought I would have them on by now but for some reason the guy only had 3 and had to ship the 4th one from out west somewhere. Hopefully it will be here today and I can get them on and post some pictures.

The FX4 also has factory skid plates if I recall.....
