tires rubbing

[Beef08]

will 305/70/17 tires rub on my 1996 z71?

I wouldn't think so. I'm running 285/70/17's on my 2wd Dodge dually with only a half inch of spacers between the back two tires.

Yes they will rub in the front while turning sharp on driving over rough terrain. I had 305/70 Buckshots on a 98 2500 4X4, they rubbed but you could deal with it. On a Z71 with a softer suspension than a regular 4X4 I would thinkit would be worse.

The 305s will be a little much try out some 285s.

Get a key way lift for like $250. Well worth it. I think you have to put them on factory wheels also.

Do some checking around before you go with the Good Years... basically they suck. You can get alot better tire for the same price.

Well, there you go. You answered your own question.

Good for you :tiphat:

They don't rub at all? What did you do? 285s rub on a stock Z.

305/70/17 = 33.8x12/17

285/75/16 = 32.8x11.2/16

Is that on factory wheels?

my friend has 285/75/16 on his stock z and they rub also...so i went and got some factory 2007 tahoe 17's and put them on and they dont rub at all
