Biggest tire for old man emu lift.

Hello,

I'M going to be installing my old man emu lift kit within the next week and I'm going to be keeping my stock rims which right now have 265/65/17 tires, I'm wondering how big of a tire I can got to without trimming. I'm looking at 265/70/17 or can I go a bit bigger then this.

 

can anyone pls give me some insight on this

 

I have 265/75R16, same as the 265/70R17s. I dont rub at all. As far as everything I have read, with 285s you will rub somewhere, depending on your wheel set up.

 

so 265/70/17's won't look to small with the 2 inch lift and thanks for the insight

 

Sometimes I think yes, sometimes I think no, haha. Take a look through my build thread. Before the armor, I had about 2.5" of lift. Now I am down to about 1.5"

 

265/70/17 will look good on a 2" lift. This is the largest you can go with the stock wheels before it starts rubbing on the upper control arms.

 

I run a 265/70/17 BFG Winter Slalom on my factory wheels with an OME 3" w/ LR UCA's, they "fit" the lift IMO

 

Thanks everyone I'M going to order up some goodyear duratracs today 265/70/17 and hope for the best.

 

255/80R17

 

wouldn't 255/80/17's rub or look to small

 

255/80/17 are 33 3/8" tall , taller than 285/70/17
