Default Duratrac 285/70/17 no lift.

Here are my new Duratracs. These are 285/70/17, with no spacers and no lift. They rub just a bit on a sharp turn, but doesn't seem to be a big deal.

I'm thinking I may want some spacers for a bit of a wider stance. How many inches should I get?

UPDATED PICS with spacers in the snow.

Looks good.. how tall are they 32.8? I'm thinking with a 7.5 rim it might be that. I have a Rubi with tow and hardtop pkg and am putting in a TF leveling kit I think I could fit the 315's on..34.4 what do you think??..so that would be about a 3/4 inch taller overall and just over a 1" wider ..if my math is right..lol but with Pintlers so with more backspace. They do look good hows the ride?

They look good. I just got the same size last weekend. It's snowing here now so I'll be able to test them out in the morning.

Very nice, if you get spacers, please update. This is where I'm wanting to go.

Good looking! Been reading up on them good reviews! how did they do for you? I think they are the perfect solution for me, I want a more aggresive tire on the stock rims! seems to fit the bill!

Not exactly sure how tall they are. I didn't measure them. The ride is def a bit harsher than the SRA's but not bothersome. They have a light "hum" on the highway but again, I really don't even notice it with the radio on.

Looks great, I would say that the spidertrac 1.25 inch spacers would be enough.

And yes, update when you get them, I love the look of the stock rims with bigger tires!

Yeah I think I'm gonna go with the Spidertrax spacers. I got a chance to test out the new tires in some snow this morning, and let me tell you, they did awesome. We got about 4-5 inches last night, and these things barely slip at all. I am very impressed so far.

Those look great, I'll be getting the 315/17/12.5 size this summer, heard nothing but good things about these tires.
