    255/70R17 size tire fit with a 1.5 leveling kit?

    Hi,
    Is there any way I fit this tire in 255/70R17 only with 1,5" leveling spacer? Or I just go safe with: 245/70R17
    Reason to ask, I`m living in Norway and buying in US So in that matter I like the tire to fit when I got it, not that easy to just drop by and change tire...
    Thanks!

    245/70's fit without a lift at all. (At least they do for the WK's).

    What kit are you planning on getting? There's a few guys running the 255/70/17s with 2" kits... but wheel width and backspace play a role in how they fit.

    I'm running the 245/70/17 with my 2" kit and like how they look on the wider aftermarket wheels. So if you want to "play it safe", check out how my Commander looks with the 245s.
