Will these tires fit on a 2WD Supercrew with 17 in Lariat chrome rims? Does any one already have these tires and have pictures? What about the quality of the tire? Thanks.

 

ACOLEY,
I put the 275/65/17 on my orp 17 inch rims. The with of the rim would not allow for 305. You can go to the NITTO web site and they will tell you what rim with you need.
Mine is 7.5 inches wide.

I have seen stock 17in lariet wheels with Mickey Thompson 35/12.5/17 tires on them. The tires fit on the rims no problem and the truck was a 4x4 with 3in body lift. Also I have seen many people with 33/12.5/17 tires on the stock rims.

i have those nitto 404s on my 00 4wd expy,i love them,great in rain,pretty good in snow,i have them on 17X8 kmc wheels .ive had nittos before on other cars and was very pleased with thier wear and performance.

 

Thanks for the help. According to my ruler, 305 mm is about 12 inches. So if a 12.5 inch tire will fit on a 7.5 inch rim, then I think I can fit a 305mm. I'm going to see what I can do

 

ACOLEY,
Nitto does not recomend putting that tire on a 7.5 inch rim. I have the same rim size and had to go with the 275/65/17.
