What size tires with 3” rough country lift

All
I need help my son has a 2015 trd off road and just purchased a rough country 3” lift. He wants to stay with the 17” rims that are on the truck now what size tire can he go up to without any mods for rubbing?
He has 17” rim and 265/70r17 tires on truck now..

Thanks

265/70/17 unless you want to chop the cab mount. The lift doesn't change the size of the wheel well which is the limiting factor...the wheel follows the same path when the suspension cycles.

 

I have a 2014 with a 3 in lift and run 285/70/17 with no rubbing. I would avoid going bigger than that if you don't want to do any further modifications.

 

I bought mine with a 3” spacer lift and 285/70r17. Minor rubbing only in reverse or when tire is stuffed and wheel turned. No cmc or anything. I’m on a set of fuel 17” rims though so maybe different.

 

I’m running 285/70/17 also.

 

You guys with 285s must not go off pavement.

 

I do. Offroading and reverse while turning are the only times I rub.

 

What?

Don’t be silly. Plenty of people run 285’s with a 3” lift.

 

Including yours truly



I have a CMC, beaten flat pinch weld, mudflaps removed, no fender liners, aftermarket UCAs, trimmed fender flares and I still rub off pavement.

 

Really odd that you had to do all that.

I did a CMC and was fine.

 

I dont even have 3" and have never had issues but i also try not to stuff the tires at full lock in 4wd

 

Those look bigger than 285s

 

Me too.

 

I promise they're not.

 

255/80/17

 

What off set and what rim width are you guys running with the 285/70r17 tires?

 

What off set and what rim width ?

 

17x8.5 -10

 

I'm there with yah... I am super hesitant to believe people when they say they don't rub after 285's etc... On pavement and normal conditions it is completely fine. When off road and you start stuffing it all bets are off. My back end clears pretty good, I actually still have my flaps in the rear but they are not the oem flaps so they have give to them. But my front starts to rub when flexing and going to full lock. Just how it is... as long as the tires aren't getting chunked or flares ripped off I am good.

 

Im on 285/70/17 and i had to lift 3" cab mount chop 1.25" spacers and cut plastic now full flex absolutely no rubbing 285's on 17" equals 33" if your thinking of going bigger just take the proper steps dont damage your truck or tires my opinion if ur unsure take mesurements
