Bigger tires no lift no rub. Thoughts.

[danmoochie]

It this the largest tire upgrade on the standard XLT FX4 and OEM rim without lifting and no chance of rubbing? I want higher and wider. Thoughts.

Height wise, with the Dobs lift on this one, a 33 would probably scrub at lock. So my guess is a 32.6 would also scrub, especially with no front level. But that's just my assumption, and to assume is to make an ass out of you and me haha. (Ass u me)

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Maybe 32s are the biggest then? I think the width will be fine?

I think width should be OK. I think at lock stock I had a tiny bit of wiggle room still, so I think width is OK. Height wise is where I dont know, since a true 33 scrubs without new offset/spacers with the Dobs level (1.5"). It seems to me with spacers though a 33 would fit now.

I'm also looking to put larger rims and tires on mine without putting a lift on it. I don't think a 32" diameter tire x 10.6" wide would be a problem .

But I'm not changing the wheels. I like the OEM XLT FX4 wheels. No lift. Just want taller and wider stance. Without the worry of rubbing anywhere at any time.

Seems that 255/75/17 would be the biggest, yet trouble free tire size.

That will add height but not width correct? I was hoping for a little of both. 265 only .4 wider and staying 70 is .6 taller.

265/70/17 is 10mm wider, but has a smaller diameter. It is not a full 32” tire.

Do you have that size installed?

No, but I know someone who does.

A comparison of these two sizes:

But stock tire is 255/70/17. Going up to 265/70/17. Your showing wrong OEM stock size on XLT FX4.

I am running 265 70 17 bfg ko3s on my 2024 xlt fx4 with no lift or level. The 255s were horrible.

I am running 267 70 17 bfg ko3s on my 2024 xlt fx4 with no lift or level. The 255s were horrible.

You mean 26t/70/17 right? Those are the exact tires I want to put in the exact same truck. XLT FX4 2.7. And no rub at all? Can you snap a picture of space between inside tire and closest upper suspension. It would be greatly appreciated. This is my exact idea

 

[Williamg4x4]

Yes sorry 265 70 17 on oem rims.

 

[Williamg4x4]

there has been no rubbing at all in any situation.

Amazing. You have my exact truck and the tires I want on the same rims. Thank you so much for taking the time to confirm and send photo.
