Stock suspension GOODYEAR 265/70/17 Duratrac

265 70 17 is 31.6" x 10.4".

Wife runs.
255 75 17 at 32.1" x 10".

I had to take off her mud flaps, cut some of the front bumper and inner wheel well plastic. They do look good on stock suspension.

 

I run 265/70's with zero rubbing on stock wheels and suspension....and I have OE mudgaurds as well.

Stock Sport wheels are 17x7.5 with a 30 mm offset.

 

Stock on 265 70 17 duratracs: Would rub taking turns on a decline where my nose would dive a little, hard breaking, and some bumps. Def would have rubbed doing any off roading.


5100's and 885, same tires and wheels: Got about $500 in the lift front and rear total. When on some light trails with not rub issues at all.

 

You can just take your flaps off and and trim them down. I did it, I'll try to find a pic of them later. But all you got to do is get a ruler sharpie and a utility knife. Measure up how much you would like to take off and then make a straight line with the ruler and cut that part off and then you the rounded edges of what you cut off to round the edges out . Took me like 20min to do it all .I measured mine about half way up the front tires.

 

Thank you for posting this. If you can find the pics I'd like to see them.

 

I had 265/75/16 KO2 tires on stock suspension, and it rubbed like a bitch with the front right flap. Trimmed off the corner and it magically stopped rubbing.




265/75/16 and 265/70/17 have very similar diameters.

 

So here's the pics. The first is the after, second is before, and third is how much was cut off . I can take some new ones of how they look now if you'd like .

 

I want to say I cut off about 4".

 

Appreciate you going to the trouble of finding and posting the pics. Unfortunately they're not showing.

 

@Thulsa Doom it def looks sweet!

 

So I went with the 265/70/17 Duratracs and love them. But the first 2 times I filled up I was only getting 15 and 16 MPG. I think I was getting like 20ish before. So that’s a little adjustment for me but I love the tires!what MPG does everyone else get with their Duratracs?

 

Sorry about the pics. They showed they were attached. Anyways here they are. Here's the before, middle, and after.

 

When you added your lift, what did you do for the rear?

 

single add a leaf. I have a shell now so it's not enough but without the shell it would have been fine. That second pic is with the aal installed.

 

I really like the look and height. Did you have the 5100s at 0 and just used the coils to lift? How do you like the ride?

 

yes, they are at zero with the 885 springs. Ride was great until I added weight to the front. After that I traded the 885's for 886's. The 885 couldn't handle the constant load up front and it was only a low pro winch bumper and winch so probably and extra 140lbs. If you don't plan on adding a shell or much weight to the rear or adding any to the front its and awesome combo and with stock UCA's my alignment was still good and it handled just fine.

 

Awesome. I have a new-to-me 2013 DCSB and looking to add a modest lift to level and fit some slightly larger tires. I appreciate the info - thanks!

 

Congrats on the new truck. For the money it's pretty much the best bang for the buck you can ask for. I think I had less $600 in the whole set up at the time.

 

LT C load or, P XL load should be fine unless you are doing serious rock crawling. E load is overkill.

 

I just installed Cooper Discoverer Rugged Treks in 265/70R17XL on my stock 2008 Sport DCSB. Stock wheels, no rub. What offset/backspace should I look at in a 17x8/8.5/9 to minimize clearance issues? Or should I just do a 2-2.5" lift first?
