Frequently Asked Questions
Well, when you observe a 255/75r17 tire, you’re looking at a tire that’s approximately 10 inches wide. It’s designed to fit on a 17-inch rim. And the peak of the sidewall? That’s about 73 inches.
The diameter of a 255/75R17 tire is 32.1 inches. That’s pretty much a bit larger than the rim it fits on!
If you’ve got a Jeep with a 17-inch rim, you’re in luck. The 255/75r17 tire is not an unusual choice for Jeeps with this rim size. Typically, the rim width for these tires ranges from 6.5 to 85 inches.
While the endorsed rim width for a 255/75r17 tire is between 6.5 and 8.5 inches, a 17x9 rim would possibly still work. But it’s always a very good idea to test with a tire professional to make sure it’s a safe and proper fit.
