Justin517 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 265/70/16 are 31's correct? How did you get those tires not to hit the struts? I have the AC lift with the LE 17 in wheels. Do ou think I could fit a 31 in tire on the 17 in wheels with the AC lift? Thanks. Your trucks look great! They are 30.9" diameter. they clear the struts fine, about 1/2" distance between edge of the tread and the strut. I ran even closer in the rear on my audi and had no problems, even under really hard cornering (had much stiffer springs and the biggest sway-bars they made for the car) What I've read is 264/75-16s rub on the strut with stock wheels, but someone on here ran used, somewhat worn ones with a bit of clearance. I gues you can also grind the strut housing a bit or get/have made some spacers for the front. As for the 17" LE wheels, I am not sure what the back spacing is compared to the 16" SE wheels I have. thats really what it depends on, if its less you could go even bigger I'm sure. Looking at my tires specs on TireRack.com it looks like the 265/65-17 actually is 0.3" smaller in diameter with the same width... so you could probably run that just fine.

laxman0324 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 You CAN run 265/65R17, but not 265/70R17 without a wheel adapter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jproy Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 You CAN run 265/65R17, but not 265/70R17 without a wheel adapter... has this been verified with the BFG's for the LE 17" wheels? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxman0324 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 has this been verified with the BFG's for the LE 17" wheels? Thanks. As I said, my rims were the Xterra S/C rims, so i am not sure if there is a difference in backspacing...and my tires are BFG Rugged Trail T/A's for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
