Default What size wheels for these tires?

I really want to keep a 17" wheel on my truck, but want to go from my stock 245's to a set of 275+. What width of wheel would I need to achieve this with? Thanks.

Stock wheels will be fine with a 275 width. Go with a 275/60 17 tire and it'd work good.

Agree, your stock 17's can go with a 275 series tire!

17x8's are perfect for a 275. The stock 17's are 7.5" wide.
