I've searched the site and even the rest of the internet, but I'm not looking in the right places apparently.

Simple question - What size are my stock wheels? (They are not the ones that came stock on the FX4 - so look here please.)

Basically I'm looking at new tires (Nitto Terra Grapplers, btw) and would like to know how wide my 17" rims are, so I know how wide I can go with the tires. I'm used to Mustang wheel sizes, but this is the first time I've had to replace the truck tires.
And before anyone suggests it, yes, I've thought about going up to 18"s or even 20"s, but it's just not in the cards right now, I NEED the tires, I don't need new wheels...yet.


Thanks for any help!

They should be 7.5" wide.

 

Seriously? Wow! I figured they'd have gone with at least an 8" wide... if not an 8.5"... So what is the widest I can go as far as tires are concerned? I've got 275's on there right now, can I got up to 295's?
With the wheels themselves being so small, I am trying to get the beefiest tires possible, to compensate, lol

 

Several people have run 35x12.50's on the oem 7.5 inch wide wheels with not problems. That is the max I would consider.

 

Level the truck and you can run a 285,295 or 315x70x17 on the stock wheels. At stock height a 285 or 295x70 would be max. Nice truck by the way!

 

Great, thanks for the replies dudes! (and for the compliments on the truck)
