Question Tire Conversion??

Have a 2001 Screw 4x4 with the 17" 265/something tires. It has the 4x4 off road package. Not sure of the exact tire size of the top of my head.

Question: People have suggested 33" tires for the truck.

What tire size would that equate to?

""/""/17

When I look for tires they want the ascpect ratio formula and not the inch size.

Thanks!!

Nice Java calculator for you.

You have 265/70R17. 285/70R17 would be closest, but there are not many tires made in that size. 305/70 would fit too, but still few choices. Click on my WWW icon for pics of of 285/70.

Wow, looks real good. I am not looking to stuff the biggest in my wheel well. The 265's have been great for off road, etc. I have been able to go everywhere the big tires guys go and more.

I just thought I could kick up the size a notch for appearance and the 285 look like they do it well.

Thanks for the info!

The stock 265/70-17's are basically a 32x10.50. A 285/70-17 is basically a 33x11.50-17. A 305/70-17 is basically a 34x12.50-17.
