Hate to be that guy...but what tire fits stock?

esoxfly · June 5, 2016

Just bought a 2016 2500HD Crew. Truck itself is at the dealer for the next few weeks until I can get up there and bring it back on the ferry, so I can't do any measurements or even look at it in person! It'll be staying stock height, but hey big tires are cool. Everything that comes up with Google is either old info from years ago, or involves leveling kits or 20" rims.

So, guys with the stock aluminum 17" (I don't like the big rim look) rims, what can I put on there as-is?

If you want to play it safe, then 285/70/17's will fit without any trouble on stock rims at stock height, and there are lots of options in that size. A 295/70/17 or 285/75/17 might fit too, but it will be close.

esoxfly are you sure their not 18'' ? I didnt see any 2500 with 17 last time I walked the lot. They were either 18 or 20''. Anyway BIG WHISKEY knows the tries and wheels pretty good. Congrad on the new ride

Yep, they're 265/70/17E on there now. I told the dealer I wanted 17" rims and he was like, "what...seriously?" I know the 18 and 20 are in style now, but I just like the "more tire, less rim" look. Only two 2500's on the lot here with the 17 aluminums.

285/70/17's are tiny, you could easily go 295's, really depends on what brand tire you like as some offer sizes that others don't.

You can stuff a lot of tire in these trucks.

Cool. You got pics of that or seen it done? I'm not doubting you, but living on an island in Alaska with no tire store, I have to order and ship them up here and if they don't fit, it's not like there's a huge tire market to sell them to. Tires will be BFG All-Terrains.
