Another Tire question

[azsheepdog]

Hey guys, I have a stock 16 HD on 17s. What's max size without cranking or mods. I have 54,000 on the original tires.  Thanks in advance.

I'd say that 285/75/17 is the max, on the stock wheels. I ran those on my truck (pics in my build thread) for about 5,000 miles, before cranking the bars a bit and putting those same tires on aftermarket rims. My tires never rubbed at stock height, even with the factory mud flaps. I didn't have much room to spare though. I think a 295/70/17 would also fit, but might be reaching the width limitations of the stock rims. 285/70/17 will fit easily, while being much more common and lower priced than the 285/75. I prefer the look of the taller tire though.
