Tires and Rims help
I have a 2006 dodge 2500 diesel with some American racing 17 inch diamond back rims wrapped with some bfgoodrich allterrain 285 tires. I am about to put a 3inch spacer on the front shocks and a 1inch block on the back to lift it. Now i can't have these little tires on the truck once it is lifted. But i want to keep the rims and get some 35's allterrain bfg's. But i don't think they make those tires for some 17inch rims. ANd i think i have to stay with 17's because otherwise my brake calipers won't fit in any other rims and plus the rims that i have are 8 lug and the diamond backs don't come in any 15inch rims with 8 lugs at least i haven't seen them on 4 wheels parts. So what should i do please give me some suggestions on what to do? thank you

You are right, you can't run smaller than 17s, BFG makes a 315-70-17 tire that is about 34.6 +/- inches in diameter. Most people refer to these as 35s, and they are really popular among the CTD crowd.
