Default tires

I just ordered some 305/70/17 maxxius big horns keeping factory wheels, I also got a 2 2.5 daystar spacer lift. Was wondering if any one knew if it would all work, my tire man said it would. Also I was wondering about the spare if it would fit with out any problems. Any input would greatly appricated.

You need to buy wheel spacers or simply do a steer stop adjustment or you will most likely rub at full lock. Tires wider than a 285 section width can rub at places such as the air dam, the sway bar links, and possibly the front lower control arms. It won't be too much of an issue--just something to look out for.

The spare should fit without a problem.

Thanks a lot, mainly highway driving and the occasional cow pasture. Would like to get more time to try out some beginner trails though!

I'd get some spacers if I were you, they just look better IMO.
I think a 305/70 is the perfect size. I 'm looking for an A/T and all I can find is the
Nitto TG, but I want a lil' bit more aggresive look.
