I'm looking at gettin' some new shoes here within the next few months and have been doin' a whole lot of comparisons online.

My OEM shoes are 265/70-17 and one thing I've found on most sites I've visited is the "plus" sizing terminology. Almost every site I've visited mentions I could move to 305/60-17 shoes.

How on earth can I do that? Wont that large of a shoe constantly rub on my pant legs?

Thanx for any advice guyz and galz.

 

 

You may have to hemm your pants with a sawzall (sp?).....

 

C'mon...



The question here is...

To trim...or not to trim? (or rather, will I have to?)

Whaddyathink?

 

If you are using the stock wheels, you won't have to trim. I've seen people run 315/70-17 (35x12.50) BFG AT KO's on the stock wheels by only cranking up the torsion bars. You could also fit a 305/70-17 (34x12.50), or a 295/70-17 (34x12.00) on the stock wheel. I've never seen a 305/60-17 tire, but Pro Comp is coming out with a 305/65-17 which is a 33x12.50.

 

Yep, stock wheels.

But what about NOT cranking up the tortion bars or any other method of modifying the height of the vehicle?

Thanx.

 

You will be fine with a 285/70-17 (33x11.50) or 33x12.50-17 without cranking up the torsion bars. I don't know who makes a 305/60-17, but that would fit also. That size would work out to be a 32x12.50-17.

 

32x12.5x17 lol dont think i have ever heard of the one. Trust wandell he is the man for this stuff.

 

The Pro Comp AT and MT, **** Cepek Radial FC II and Mickey Thompson Baja Radial MTX are all available in 33x12.50-17.
