will 315/70R17 fit uder my truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bhull2 · 08-31-2004, 09:56 AM

I am looking to purchase a set of 17" wheels with 315/70R17 tires on them. Would these fit under my 72 3/4 ton with a 2" lift? I was looking at getting some 33" or 35" tires, but I can get a good deal on these. Any ideas one no for sure? I don't hve my truck finished yet so I cannot actually measure the space.... Thanks for any assistance.

How wide of a rim and how much backspacing? If you go with a 8" wide rim w/ 4" backspacing I'd say yes.

I've got that same size tire but a 4" lift and it fits fine, but I am a poser and havent done much wheeling yet. With 2" I think you should be fine if you want to do a little trimming.

BTW are they H2 takeoffs? I got a pretty good deal on a set also.

Oh yeah and I'm running a 10" rim

Why yes, They are H2 takeoffs

I think that they are a 9" wide rim. Those tire sizes are what they come with, but I guess instead of "trimming

", I could just get smaller tires if necessary.

Anyone have any pics of these wheels on a 67-72?
