Tire size

Can someone tell me what size tires I can go to on a 2008 X with the 17" wheels. I have BFG Mud Terrains now, but they are the stock size that it came with. Wanted to get a bit more height if possible. I have a 2.5 coil and shock lift.

If you add wheel spacers, you can go with 285/70/17, 295/70/17, 305/70/17 or 315/70/17. It depends on how large you want to go.

What is the down side to putting on wheel spacer, if any?

Some don't like them... for whatever reason.
I've had mine for almost 2yrs w/o any problems.

I don't think there's any I've had them in numerous vehicles if anything it makes your stance wider, that could be good or bad.
