Have run 35" x 12.5's on stock 17" rims with 1-1/2" spidertrax spacers for 47k miles and 5 years
I think the tire "folding" would be caused more by going with a super tall tire (with weak sidewalls) on a small rim
At Discount tire we strongly advise not going over the reccomended width of the wheel, a 315 will work but i myself didnt go that route because of the horror stories ive encountered and heard about. you run a good risk of folding that tire over and popping it off the bead. same goes for having a wide wheel and narrow tire. i had a friend come to me and try to have us mount 12.5 inch wide tires on 7 inch wide wheels, i said no and told him the risks and he proceded to do the work himself. he flipped his truck 4 times on the highway on and off ramp..... insurance paid for the truck and he was back 2 days after to get bigger wheels. go with a bigger wheel in my PROFESSIONAL opinion
Got my Spidertrax wheel spacers on this weekend and love them!!! View attachment 132344

Looks good. Do you have issues with your tires rubbing the front bumper? I had to chop mine, and only 35s.
Good looking rig. :thumb:
Love my setup for now.
315/70/17s nittos load range d
4.10 gears. Works pretty good offroad. 1.5 spacers
Ran them all week between 7-9 psi in Moab on some nasty trails and never blew a bead. Close but it didn't happen.
Looks good! At first I didn't like the new Rubi wheels, but I have to say, I think they look great now that I have seen some bigger meats on them! :thumb:
