Need some help here

I was wondering if anyone can help me.........I have a stock 08 TRD Sport Prerunner What is the largest tire I can put on some Dick Cepek DC-1 17x9 rims with 4.53 inch backset. My stock tires are 265x65R17,my rims are 17x7.5. stock tires are too narrow for my new rims.......I do not want to lift or modify my front end............Thank you in advance for your Help.........

 

In general the rule of thumb is you can go 2" wider or narrower with the tire than the rim. I would suggest you find the tires you want, they should have the specs of the tire along with what rim widths the tire is made for. Just find the one that suits your rims. You should be able to go with a 265/70/17 that would be 31.6" tall.

 

Luk8272........so I shouldn't have any rubbing with the 31.6 tall tires? How wide can I go without rubbing........Thanks for your reply.........

 

Factory being 265/65/17=30.5" width is 10.4"
New Tire 265/70/17 =31.6" Width is also 10.4"

This will help break it down for you. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=7

 

This site is good for just punching in the numbers and seeing how tall they will be and how it will change your speed.

 

yeah, i ran 265-70-17 on my 17x9's with 5" BS and 0 offset and they rubbed the front mudflaps a little when turning, not enough to cause damage, just enough to annoy me until i got the lift on. your stock tires should fit too....

 

Thanks again Luk8272
