Biggest/Best Tire?
Hey guys I searched a bit, but couldnt find the answer exactly.

I have a 2.25" front lift and cornfed 2" rear

I also have 17" wheels

What's the biggest tire that will fit without rubbing? What's the best tire that will last a while, but is a all-terrain tire?

Thanks in advance.

With spidertrax spacers and lifted 3/2, I still wouldn't want to go bigger than 265/70R17's. I had to move my front fender liners forward an inch. No rubbing, but it's close.

Nitto TG's are great so far, and cheap. Oh, and a 265/70R17 fits in the spare tire well even with the big V8 tow hitch. (not much clearance, but it fits)

you should also fill in your profile

well i guess i have that already. i picked up some sequioa wheels with TG 265/70/17. i am also expecting the spidertrax spacers any day now.

the offset on the sequioa wheels is different the the stock wheels, are they gonna be too far out and rub?

Looks great! I don't know if Sequioa wheels and spacers is too much. Sweet looking ride though!

Usually people put the FJ rims or Tundra/Serquoia rims on to get it to stick out further without using spacers.....not to mention they look cool

As far as longevity, this question gets asked a lot on another forum I am on and the concesus (sp) seems to be the BF Goodrich AT. Most people say they get 80,000+ miles on them and some guys say 100,000.

That's probably what I'll buy next.

Post a side profile shot if you can, but from the way it looks, I don't think you need spacers. Also, Spacers may and will have an effect on your wheel bearings and will shorten their life span.

However, I will eventually install spacers on my UR.

BTW, Does anyone know how much the Spidertrax spacers weigh?
