Put new tires on “245/70r17” while waiting for new wheels to arrive

Through on my new tires which are Falken Wildpeak AT3’s in a 245/70r17. I believe this is as big of a tire as you can go without a lift

Very nice. What % tint did you get?

18% on rear glass and rear doors, 5% on front doors and 40% on windshield

so there was no rubbing on my way home, did a 180° turn full lock and there might have been a very slight rub

Looks great. Would appreciate updates If you notice any issues. I am looking at same size.

245 seems like an awfully wide tire for a 7 inch wheel.

The more meat the better! Don't wanna curb those beautiful rims.

I get that but I've had 235s on 8 inch wheels and there was plenty of curb protection. Maybe the bulge look is a truck thing. The Mav will be the 1st one I've owned.

I'm looking the look of those tail lights. Not too dark. Do you mind sharing how you got that look?

Per Falken, 7" is the measured rim width for their specs. 6.5-8.0 are the approved widths.

31”s should easily work as long as they’re not all-terrain/mud tires…

Interesting. Truck tires must be different than the lower profile tires I'm used to. I looked up a generic recommendation for a 245 width tire and it was 7.5-9.5 wheel width. A 9.6 inch wide tire on a 6.5 inch wheel, wow!

these tires will be swapped to my new wheels that are 8" wide once they arrive
