From everything I've read it shouldn't be an issue. What brand tires are you looking at?

315 should be fine on a 99-04 for clearance. If you want to be a bit more conservative, go with 285/40R17 ... that's the narrowest I would suggest for a 10.5" rim to avoid the "stretched" look.


cheers

315 or you'll die in a horrible fire.























I kid.......but really......315 35 are a must if your going 17". I have them matched against my 245's stock and looks dirty.
