Does anyone know what size tire I can put on my 2001 supercrew with 17 inch stock rims. I have 265 70/17 right now I am looking for a little taller(to fill in wheel wells). thanks Ken

 

is it a 2wd or 4wd?

 

it is 4wd

 

Your best bet for a larger tire with the stock wheels would be a 285/70-17 (33x11.50). The largest size you could fit would be a 315/70-17 (35x12.50). This is the absolute largest and is a very tight fit. You would have to crank up your torsion bars and trim a little plastic from your front bumper's lower valance. You could also fit a 33x12.50-17 or a 305/70-17 (34x12.50).

 

Thanks for the info.
if I went from 265 to 285 how much higher would it make the truck do you think, I park in a Parking garage for work very low headroom at gate truck just makes it now

 

Half an inch higher.

 

I have 285's on my 2wd...

 

Thanks again for the info
It seems like the 285's are the way to go
when you say half of a inch you to the curb height

 

The 285's are an inch taller (33 vs 32 inches tall) so the overall height of the truck will be 1/2 inch taller (top of the roof).

 

Thanks now i understand. Sorry feels like a monday

 

You might want to check this site for sizing. You just plug in the tire size and it compares all the measurements of each tire:

Thank you very much that helped a lot
that is a very cool website

 

Ain't this site sooooo helpful?

You're welcome, no problem.

 

That's a nice link. I've gone to the Tire Rack website before to get size info - nice for numbers on a particular brand/type of tire, but not as handy as this.

I have 255/70R16s on my 4x4 now - think I'll go to a 285/75 as soon as I can wear these out!

 

I am all set to have tires 285/70-17 BFG A/T put on my truck on friday . I can not wait. you know what they say "SMALL THINGS AMUSE SMALL MINDS"
