What’s the largest tire on you have on your stock PPV rim

[Chickensandwich]

Just curious about how large and/or wide I can go on the standard 17” rim

 

[Chickensandwich]

Anyone consider a 275/60r17? I was told these are little taller, a little wider and will fit no problem. It would fill the wheel well out a little more and probably help with a more comfortable ride. Thoughts?

Or this boring thing:

Regarding wheel/tire combinations that will fit your truck without rubbing, no 2 trucks and their suspensions are exactly alike, due to a number of factors including accumulated wear on the suspension components and different wheel widths and offsets, so there is no guarantee that what fits with no rubbing on one truck will automatically fit with no rubbing on your truck. Other folks' experiences can guide you in one direction or another, but the final test will be when you mount the wheel/tire combination on your own truck.

To assist you in getting a good idea on whether or not specific alternate wheel/tire combinations 'may' fit your truck with no rubbing, I recommend that you use the wheel/tire comparison app at the URL listed below. You can use this app starting with your existing wheel/tire combination as a benchmark, assuming that there are currently no rubbing issues with it, and measure the actual critical fender and suspension component clearances as directed by this app. Then, you can enter alternate wheel/tire combinations, and this app will give you the projected changes in these critical fender and suspension component clearances.

I used this app for determining whether on not I could use my current alternate wheel/tire combination, and it accurately projected the changes in critical clearances. Again, the use of this app in not an absolute guarantee that an alternate wheel/tire combination will fit without rubbing, but it provides a much better assessment, or projection, than simply an educated guess on your part, or a statement from others that it worked on a truck other than yours.

I put 265/65/17 on thecopcar. Afterwards I realized there was still more room, I could have gone to 265/70/17 with no problem.

I was told from the tire place that 275/60r17 would fit. They are slightly taller and a little wider. It would throw the Speedo off by about 1.5 mph. Otherwise, General G-Max Justice 265/60r17 is the correct size for the truck. $208 a piece…ouch. Goodyear has non-police RS-A tires for $125…decisions! The Toyo tires above are for sport trucks. Kinda fits for a PPV eh?

I spent $180 apiece for the rsa police version in 2019. No ideas on cost right now.

When in went to the 65 series KO2, the Speedo is off 3mph at 80.

Thanks for that link. I had lost the bookmark.

$241 each. The General G-Gmax Justice are better tires, but see some General Grabber UHP tires for the same or less, but the sizes are off. 275/55r17. Not sure if that size would work.

Depends on what you plan to do and how you’re driving. The 55 series May beat you up on rough roads with potholes. But the slotcar feeling on good pavement would be fun.
