will 315-70-17 fit under my truck with the 2" spacers? ive heard yes and no. think i found a decent deal on some 315's just want to know if it will work or not before i lay the cash down!

 

Depends on the backspacing of the rims you have.

Factory backspacing and the tires will rub on the control arms at almost full steering lock. (managable)

Aftermarket backspacing of 4.5 inches and they might rub on the rear inside of the fender while turning.
(less managable, and cuts into the tires)

You do realize they are for 17inch rims, and the trucks in your sig came with 16 inch rims.

The 315/70-17's are a little shorter than the 315/75-16's, so they might actually fit.

im going to go with an aftermarket rim like some type of eagle alloy or micky tompson classic II i think it is?

 

i like the M/T classic II's can u get them in a 17-10? i have seen 17-9.

 

I had a set of M/T classic II's on my '89 chevy. Looked great, nice rims. they have steel inserts in the lug holes, much more durable than most aluminum wheels. Also have a great weight rating BTW they should fit.

 

FWIW - the Dakars in my set-up have 4.5" backspacing, and with my set-up I get slight rubbing on the passnger side nerf bar in a hard right hand turn. It's manageable.

My 305/70/16's rub on my lower control arm with the factory wheels. This is with a 2" leveling kit. They also rubbed before the lift. I'm thinking about going with a set of 315/75/16's instead of a 315/70/16.
