 Subject: All 3rd Geb wtih 3" lift
IP: Logged
Message:
Hello All,
It has been a while. I have a 2000 4x4 club cab dakota. I want to put the PA 3" body lift and run a bigger tire. I have the 17x9 RT wheels already on my truck. I like the wheel and want to run a 17 inch tire. There are only a few off road tires made for a 17 inch rim. Nitto and BFG are two that make that tire. I know that you can run a 33/12.5 tire with the three inch lift. But BFG sells a 305/70/17 tire. It turns out to be 34.5 tall and 12 wide. Has anyone run that large of a tire with only a 3 inch body lift? I do not Off road much but I do not want to scrub either. It seems that all the 17 inch tall tires are 32 inchs tall and 11 inchs wide. I would like to fill the wheel wells a little bit more.
Thanks for your time

I checked the conversion and the 305/70/17 = 33.8
I run a 305/70/16 mud tire on my 2001 4x4 reg cab with the PA 3" body lift and have had a little rubbing but nothing that could not be adjusted out by moving the front bumper outward. I get a little frame rub on full turns but I rarely turn my wheel that much. Heres a link to the conversion charts

They list the "true" size on the tire at there web site. Normally BFG runs bigger then the stated size. from my understanding the govermant gives them a +/1 2% on sizing. Thanks for the info about how your truck is set up

with the rt rims given the backspaceing(I used to run 17x9) they will rub the frame, with a little trimiing you shouldn't have any other problems though.

it seems like you want an allterrain I have a set of 265-70-17 lyeing in the shed if your in florida but you probable want larger.
super swamper makes 32 11.50 ssr's for 17's as well as a truxus mt for 17's and procomp has mud terrains and all terrains in 33-12.50 as it seems your leaning towards an all-terrain.
