alright i have been tire shopping again and thats always dangerous. Here is my first question. I have 245/70-17's at the moment and they are so skinny its sick SOOO i found a set of 285/60-17 toyo Proxies S/T tires that keep the exact same height but are obviously wider, like 9.64in to 11.22in so thats a whole lot more rubber on the ground. herein lies the conundrum. will this wide of a tire fit on my stock rim or should i just stick to a 265/65-17 Pirelli Scorpion ATR. i am just afraid that the 285/60-17 will rub and be to big for the rim and cause a

Thanks for the help

 

I can tell you this, I have the Toyo Proxes on my factory Escalade wheels but they are 275/60-17's, and they are prob. the best tires I've ever owned. They even did great in the snow, which amazed the fug'outa me! Here is a pic with them on my truck. Maybe ask Trever1t, he has the 285/60's on his truck, but I'm not sure of his rim width.

 

Thanks man, do you have a shot of the tread from the front or back so i can see the stance???

 

Hey ZZebes, I run the 285/60 Toyo Proxys on 8.5" Welds. It is not recommended to run them on less than 8" but i think it can be done. Stockers are 7.5" right?

 

to be honest i really don't know. BUT, did you have any rubbing issues with rubbing and how do you like them???

 

I really like the tires. They ride very quiet, handle well and get shticky when ya spin em up!
I rub just so slightly in the front when I turn hard over but only on the inner wheel well plastic. My front was dropped like 3.5" too.

 

 

Thanks for the pics man. do you think the 285 would fit on the stock wheel???

 

I think you could make it work if you had too.

 

so i should stick with the 275???
