Will they fit

[brockncole]

Ok guys I am going to have to get new tires. I was wondering if the 275 70 17's will fit on my 2003? I had a 2001 F-15 that had 285 70 17's on it and had no problems it looked really good. I have decided not going that big on the Expy, but do want a little bigger tire than the 265 70 17's..

Thanks,

Tallsville is the guy with this setup:

im running a 275/70/17 or 33" tire on a stock rim on an 03 4x4 no lift yet. Slight rubbing when turning.

Thanks Freeway

I wonder what the slight rub is?

sorry guys i messed up. im running 285/70/17's A/Ts so when turning for lack of a better term knobs/blocks of tread pattern will catch the inner fender plastic. mine inner fender is loose not sure if it is that way on others. but if i tied it back to frame or something no rub. im running these tires

here are some pics. 1st pic is opposite full lock were you can see where it rubs. the 2nd and 3rd are pics at full lock. hopefully you can see where it is rubbing the inner fender.
