post them up if you got them...

Thanks

 

Ive got 275 55 17s. Whats your drop on your truck?





They were good on my 4/6 drop rcsb. I got them so i could go 5/7

 

I thought the stock 17's were 7" wide? they should look close to alex's wide *** tires, except his wheels are 8"

 

heres a 285 on 8".

 

I thought the 16's were 7, the 17's were 7.5 and 18+ were 8 wide... I may be wrong thou...

 

Yea, all GM 17's are 7.5" wide. Here's a couple old pics I had saved on my computer.

285/60/17's





I am in need of a new set of tires also and have been strongly considering the 285/60's. Just can't confirm how they will ride or wear on that narrow of a rim....... I know all the tire manufacturer's of that size spec a minimum of an 8" rim

 

Slvr, that looks good on the black RCSB. Was that yours? I know all suggest an 8" wide on 285's, but I see it done all the time in larger A/T & mud tires so who knows.

Have always wondered about the 285-60-17's though on stockers though, came close to going that route with a previous truck.

 

With a taller sidewall you can/ want to run a narrow wheel. The shorter the sidewall the closer you need your wheel and tire to match so you don't get irregular wear. You should be just fine with a 7.5 wheel. I prefer no bulge in the sidewall but you should have very little with your planed set up.

 

Oh well i ordered some 275s hankooks. Those 285s do look good thou

 

What kind of hankook? The 275 will fit a little bit better anyhow.
