? about alrgest unmodified 97 XLT tires

jeffp · 12-07-1999, 02:54 PM

I have a 97 XLT V8, looking to put the largest tires on it I can without doing an body modifications. I do not offroad at all (commuter) just really like the looks of bigger tires and dont want to go to a larger rim size. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have a 97 xlt same as you and i went with the 30's. (BFG TA KO) When you go to buy tires the store might tell you that you can't fit 31's on there or that it will mess with your ABS. There are many posts on here about that. Just go to the search thing and put it in. I am pretty sure most people are agreed on that the 31's will not hurt your ABS.
