If I am currently running a 285/70R17.. would I be able to go to a 37x12.5 17.. or is that too wide for my wheel..
thanks,
Brian

 

do you have a 17x8 or 17x9 wheel?

 

good question.. I don't know.. I got these wheels off my dad's jeep that he bought and he didn't want them so i didn't know the make or the exact dimensions.. all i know is the tire i have on there now is a 285/70R17

 

you will most likely be fine with a 12.50 width tire... I have the 17x8 with 35/12.50/17 BFG KM2's and it looks great ... Some will rightfully point out that the manufacturer on that tire recommends at least an 8.5" rim so I'm slightly under their specs... I certainly wouldn't go any wider tire size, i.e. 13.50 without knowing you have a 9 or 10 inch wheel width

 

thanks guys.. i wish i could find out who makes my wheels.. i tried posting a pic awhile ago but i got no feed back.. oh well

 

looked at your previous post on your wheels and it was answered.... they are the Helo 842 Gloss Black Machined 17x8 4.5 backspacing... so you will be OK with a 12.50 width.. if you want to know the pros and cons of 8 vs. 9 inch wheel there are plenty of threads with the debate back and forth on them

 

hey thanks for the info. I know after i saw that it refreshed my memory about that post and i took a look.. I can't express how awesome this website is and how much it benifits everyone on here!! sooo much info on everything when it comes down to it!!! But thanks again for the responses.... now time to run some big a$$ tires!! LOL
