Mornin guys.....WHat is the largest size tire I can fit on my 05 QC 4X4 without having a lift? I currently have 285-70-17's on it and there looks to be plenty of room to go to either 295's or possibly 305's. Just curious...

Thanks
Jason

 

315-70r17s on stock alloys, if you don't mind a little rub of the control arm under full lock. I ran a set of 315 ATs for about 10k on my 04.5.

 

I had that size but in 16" on my 97 and they rubbed the inner fender well a little. Nuttin major though. Thanks!

 

i got 295 70 17 nitto trails and i personally love that size on the truck they fill up the wheel wells just enough to make it look right no rubbing at all the only thing i dont like about them is they hurt my fuel mileage big time but what do you expect for having a tire thats a little over a foot wide on all 4 corners

 

Thanks for the info! I think that is a good size as well....

 

Did you account for the odometer being off? When I ran 315s, I got better highway mileage than I have ever gotten since...mainly because it lowered my RPM so much, I have 4.10s and NV5600. It didn't help or hurt my in town mileage, but they definitely were harder to get rolling and to stop than 265s.

 

yes i accounted for the odometer being off and it still hurts i got 3.73 gears and an auto so its just my thought but i wish i had the hand shaker back i could always get awesome mileage in my old 5spd but when you get drunk break your left ankle that clutch is a mother to push in so i traded got the auto and now i am in search of the holy grale a megacab 5.9 with 6 spd but thats just my view point on it all

 

315's will fit in there but as stated above... They will rub on the lower control arm with the wheel cut all the way. Nothin a leveling kit cant fix!

 

The 295's are going to be your best bet. The 305's will fit with a stock rim and no rubbing but they won't gain you a thing over the 295's. The 315's are way too much tire for the 3.73 and stock auto combination. Its a loss on both ends.

 

Thanks. i think I will go with 295's. Thats a decent size and they will fill out the wheel well a bit more as well..
