Tire question

Will 275/70/17 tires rub on stock suspension and factory wheels or will I have to have a lift?

 

according to the tire size calculator, they would be very close to the 265/75/16 I put on while I was still stock. I say try it.

 

A 265/70/17 is the same size as a 265/75/16, which will fit stock suspension/wheels with no rubbing.

A 275/70/17 is not only a little bigger, but the extra width plays a role as well in fitment and rubbing. They will possibly fit stock suspension/wheels without rubbing in normal driving, but they will likely rub off-road. They're right on the border though, so if they do rub, it should take very minimal trimming to clear them.

 

275/70/17 is what I really WANT t get in the next couple months BUT I'm afraid it WILL RUB. I'm all STOCK except 5100's set at 1.75". I do NOT off-road anymore and NO MALL, just street driving.

 

Just remember all tires are not created equal, meaning that all 265/70, etc are different widths. Call discount tire. I know they have a database on what fits without issues.

 

I have 275 70 17 KO2s and they just barely clear the stock upper control arm with the 5100s cranked. My truck does get taken off road with work and all.

 

Thanks guy will try them and see

 

I also have these tires and they rubbed the inner edges of my front mud flaps even with the lift. I had to take them off and trim them about 1 3/4 inches. Now they seem OK. Also removed the little front flap thingy.

 

Ah I see! You have a 14 which is probably why. I have a 07 so I don't have those front flaps to deal with
