275/70-17, will they fit?
I have searched but didn't find any threads talking about this tire size. I was wanting to know if I can put 275/70-17 tires on my 2wd supercrew and factory wheels without them rubbing. I do not have a leveling kit. Would I need one?
No its not going to be a problem. The ACTUAL height will differ a little depending on the wheel its mounted on and the inflation pressure.
Just so you know here is the formula you can use to determine the tire size:
Take the first number and divide it by 25.4, this converts mm into inches:
275/25.4=10.8267
Then take that number and multiply it by the second number in %:
10.8267x.70=7.578
This is your sidewall height. Since you have basically 2 sidewalls, multiply that by 2:
7.578x2=15.157
Then you take that number and add back your rim diameter:
15.157+17=32.157 or 32.16 inches tall.
