I have a 2001 Super Crew and will be buying some new tires soon. Before I buy new tires I will raise the front of my truck about 1.5" with adjusting the torsion bars. ? is should I buy
305-70-17's or 315-70-17's ? Does anyone know about what size both of theese tires would be in inches?? Also, I dont want any tire rubbing.

 

305's are roughly 33x12.50
315's are roughly 35x12.50

With only 1.5" of lift, the 315's might rub. The 305's will work fine tho.

 

Who makes a 305 70 17?

 

i dont think that you are gonna be able to even fit 305s without rubbing. if i were you i would go with 295s.

 

My 305's rub but only in reverse. I have Cooper Discoverer A/T's

 

The 315s will not fit! Even with a 3" lift, the 315s are pretty tight

I have 33x12.50x16.5's on my 01 SCrew. I had to trim the valance just a little. You can fit 35's on stock rims with minor trimming, but it isn't recommended. And I know several people with 3" body lifts and 35's that their tires don't rub at all. Just depends on your truck cause every truck sits a little different from the factory. Here are some pics of my truck. www.fordtruckworld.com/bccromer

My 305's don't rub at all on my 2001 Screw.

 

I'm running 305/70/17 Goodyear MTR's on my 02 Screw FX4...Moved torsion bars and they still rubbed slightly...Slight trim and now they never rub, full lock or compression...305 look sweet too...

 

Just got some pictures up with my 305's

 

Thanks for all the replies. I am going to go with a set of BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A's. 305/70/r17

I will try and post some pics once i get them.

 

JUST INSTALLED GOODYEAR 305 /17 MTRs ON MY 2002 SUPERCREW, NO RUBBING, LOOKS SHARP.

 

rcno,

you have any pics of the new tires on the truck yet?

 

I have the GY 305/70/17 MT/R's on my stock sawblade rims. No rubbing, trimming or cranking of torsion bars. Excellent size and great looks.

 

For some reason my tires look so much more wider that those.
