193 Rep 1,278 Posts | Haha, I like living on the edge, boys The diameter is 1.2" larger than stock, that's .6" on either side. Also, as I posted above, the the sidewall thickness and diameter of the 255/40 and the 285/35 are almost identical. EDIT: I just talked to Ben at TireRack. Really informative guy with some good insight. Up front, the liner is constructed slightly differently than the rear, only because the car is designed to have a taller tire in the rear. I'll keep everyone updated

FAQs
Will a 285 fit on a 9.5 rim? ›
285's would work on a 9.5" wheel. Here's a shot of EAS's E92 M3 with Yokohama Advan AD08's in front. They do run a bit wide though...
How wide is a 285 35r19 tire? ›| 285/35-19 | 295/35-19 | |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter inches (mm) | 26.85 (682.1) | 27.13 (689.1) |
| Width inches (mm) | 11.22 (285) | 11.61 (295) |
| Circum. inches (mm) | 84.37 (2142.88) | 85.23 (2164.87) |
| Sidewall Height inches (mm) | 3.93 (99.75) | 4.06 (103.25) |
Technically, yes. You can indeed put 35s on a stock Jeep Wrangler JK and drive around town without issue. However, if you are going to hit the trail, it's going to rub. Now, if you are just overlanding down an old desert trail or simply hitting the beach like we did, it's not a major issue.
What rims fit 35s? ›From popular sizes for 18 inch and 20 inch rims as well as LT and P-metric options, the right set of 35s is right here.
What size rim do I need for a 285 tire? ›| Rim width | Minimum tire width | Ideal tire width |
|---|---|---|
| 10,0 Inches | 255 mm | 265 or 275 mm |
| 10,5 Inches | 265 mm | 275 or 285 mm |
| 11,0 Inches | 275 mm | 285 or 295 mm |
| 11,5 Inches | 285 mm | 295 or 305 mm |
The first number in the tire size, 285, represents the width of the tire in millimeters. To convert this to inches, we divide 285 by 25.4 (since there are 25.4 millimeters in an inch). This gives us approximately 11.2 inches.
What is the best rim width for 35-inch tires? ›To increase performance, your tire should be compatible with your rim size. 33-inch tires work well with rims that measure 15 or 16 inches in width, while 35-inch tires should only be used with rims that are at least 17-inches wide.
Can I put 35 tires on stock Ram rims? ›The largest tire size you can fit into a stock Ram 1500 without requiring modifications or lifting is 35 inches. Aside from 35-inch tires not requiring modifications or lifting, this tire size also works with the stock factory suspension and rims.
What lift do I need to fit 35s? ›A Lift is Needed in Most Cases
A lift is required on most vehicles to accommodate 35-inch tires. The lift size needed can range from 3.5 to 6 inches. An exception is the new Ford Bronco, which requires no modification to fit 35s. Some trims even come with them from the factory!
A: The 295/60R20 is only 11.62 wide and 33.94 tall. The 295 will also hold more weight. The 35 has a maximum load of 3195 and the 295 has a maximum load of 3750.
What size tires can I put on my stock rims? ›
As a general rule of thumb, it's safe to fit a tire up to 20 millimeters wider than stock on the original rim. The actual width of the tire will vary depending on the width of the rim: The tire will expand 5 millimeters for every half-inch (12.5 millimeters) increase in rim width.
Will a 295 tire fit on a 9.5 wheel? ›I ran 295's on my 9.5 not only did it look MUCH better with a slight bubble on the sides...but it hooked better, I would HIGHLY recomend going with a 295 instead of the stock 275.
Will a 265 fit on a 9.5 wheel? ›265 will not be a problem though. Just go with 265.
What does a 285 tire measure out to? ›285/70R17 tires have a diameter of 32.8" (832 mm), a tread width of 11.2" (285 mm), and a wheel diameter of 17" (431.8 mm). The sidewall of the tire is 7.9" (200 mm), and the tire's circumference is 103" (2612.5 mm).
Will a 9.5 inch rim fit 255? ›On a 9.5J wheel 255 and 265 sizes are usually the recommended ones, with 275 being the max. So really there should not be any issues in this regard.
