need help

[dozerman123]

i have a 04 F-250 powerstroke and its all stock. i recently bought a set of 17x12 weld wheels at a great price and i was wondering what size tires i could run on them without a lift?

I think you should sell them to me or possibly trade me! Just saying LOL, stock truck maybe 285/70/17 but will look wierd on a 12 wide wheel, so even better reason to sell them to me!

You are going to be very limited on what tires you can run without a lift. Those new wheels are almost to wide.

Are they stamped 17x12 or did you measure them yourself? Remember, when measuring wheel width, its from INNER lip to INNER lip.

If they are 12s, look for a 13"-15" wide tire. A 315 would fit, but they would look like the sidewalls were bulging out.

Regardless, you're going to need a lift to clear them.

I found a tire he could run without a lift. Sure they are made for passanger vehicles and have 1700lb load rating, but they will clear...

P315/35ZR17 They are 25" tall and approved for a 12" wide wheel.

Can you tell I am bored at work?

Hells yeah! Those tires would have the effect of 31.5s with a 4.69 gear! Woo hoo! Let's go to the track!

Slow night here, too.

That would be a torque beast. I work night shift in a machine shop. Making Boeing 737 and Gulfstream G650 parts right now. What do you do?
