Biggest tire with 3/2 and no wheel spacers?

[kylebacc]

Anyone got an answer for that one? I searched, but found none. Looking for the biggest (tallest and widest) tire that can be fit on a 17" wheel on a 4th gen with only a 3/2 suspension spacer kit, NO wheel spacers. Thanks!

will be rubbing but the amount of rubbing varies between almost everyone. and it depends on the type of wheel you have.

Some have had pretty good luck with 275/70's AND you can carry a spare

Do you know by chance if it would be more UCA rubbing or like plastic fender rubbing? Because I could probably figure something out with the plastic, but the UCA i don't think I would like too much.

Spaceman and others have used the 275 size. There is some UCA rubbing when the wheel is cut all the way but the rubbing is minor and on a smooth, strong section of the UCA. It doesn't seem to cut the tire or cause damage.

An alternative might be 255/75/17. It's the same 32.1" of the 275/70/17 but enough narrower that there's no UCA rubbing. Link in my sig and search BFG 255/75/17. Many jumped on the $100/tire special they ran on the BFG M/T's in that size.
