Uncleglenny, where you from I'm curious? A little info I think was missed, Nitto makes a 305/70/17 tire Terra Grappler. As far as what everyone's told me about 305's on stock rims, crank both t-bars all the way which ought to level it nice and trim the valance a bit, some do some don't cuz maybe it rubs a bit or not at all, that can be dealt with later anyways. After cranking, get an alignment and boom you're good to go. I wished and hope it happens that Goodyear puts out a Wrangler Silent Armor in 305/70/17, then maybe I'll go to a 305 or be more tempted anyways. I'm hesitant on raising the t-bars as the Bilstiens I put on seem short to begin with, maybe it's just me. Either way, my 285's fit and look great. As far as 315's go, they look great and work great on body lifted trucks, 3"-4" but will still hit at full lock as mentioned (stock rims).

 

well according to the book he had they only had 305/17 i'm gonna check the website and i'll get back to ya, how bout the price? wow

 

i'm from ontario canada and i havent really looked into nittos kinda had my heart set on the toyos, that being said i just stopped at goodyear to see if they were cheaper and i was shocked, think i'm gonna go with 16 inch helos and 305s i dont mind cranking the t-bars or trimming the valance.

 

well just checked their site and who knew they list a 305/70/16 mtr so i dont know whats going on.

 

Not from Windsor by chance are ya? Is your truck red? Nitto's and Toyo's are basically the same and I think made in the same building. I'm still himmin and hawing about going up in sizes but you know, a 305/70/17 looks good on these much similar to the 305 16" would.

 

you got it its me buddy how ya been? nice to see a familiar face on here, this forum has been a tonne of help. ya kinda think i'm gonna go with the 16 helos and toyos couple of mutual friends have em and they last forever, gonna get a price on the 16s vs the 17s, went to goodyear yesterday for comparison and i ran out of there lol .gotta do some thing to my truck while i still have money...lol

 

Damn G.B, ya, good to see ya here. Lots of stuff thats helped me over the years for sure. Try Discount Tire in Michigan too, I go to the one on Gratiot, about the 35000 block I think or the one on 14 mile just down from Oakland Mall in Troy. The Troy one has been good and prices are cheap. Sumbitch, keep in touch there uncleglenny, I've seen you driving, Kyle, the red rocket but from a distance. What better way of spending dough than on our rigs, I've been and now have to invest in gas instead.

 

well just thought i'd let ya know got those rims on order and i'll go tomorow to order tires, getting excited !

 

Hey Blue2000 are your t-bars cranked to fit those 285's? They look pretty badass!

 

Thanks, but negatory on the t-bar crank. These fit no probs but I could see where a 305 would hit. I'm still a ways away from another set of tires and maybe will go 305's with a t-bar crank.

 

you dont need to crank the Torsion bars for 285's but i did mine and i think it looks better. im running 285/75/16 BFG TA KO.
