305/70/17 Tires on Stock Wheels

MSharpe505 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-22-2009, 11:19 AM

I am considering putting 305/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 2005 stock height 250 with the 17" factory rims. Is anyone running this setup and could you post a pic if possible? Do you think these tires will fit on the truck without rubbing?

x2. I want to upgrade to a larger tire on stock wheels/ride height.

MSharpe505...tell me more about your truck...i have an 04 ext cab...the fx4 version. it comes stock with 285/70/16s...i know that i can fit 315s on there without rubbing...but that's cuz the fx4 has those rancho shocks that keep the truck sitting a little higher than others...i would say you could probably shove those 305s on there without rubbing. you want a definitive answer tho...i'd call a local ford dealership and ask them what the biggest tire you could do based on your truck setup...

Sure they will work just fine. Im running 315/70/17s on my stock wheels

I would look into a leveling kit though

Why do you recommend a leveling kit?

It just looks better. And gives a little more clearance in the front if you off road at all.

Theres enough stock though
