17” wheels, smallest tire size to run?

This sounds crazy, but if i went with 17” wheels with 0 offset, whats the smallest size tires i can run but still make it look okay or oem? 255/75/17? 275/70/17? Help me out thanks,
My CM stock.

 

I don't think there is any tire size you can run on a 0 offset wheel that will make it look OEM or close to it. Regarding your two proposed sizes, 275/70/17 will still stick out past the fender a little bit, and 255/75/17 will look like pie cutters since they are .8 inches narrower than stock.

If you are intent on running a zero offset wheel, I say you at least level it and go with a 295/70/17. That's a 33' tire, minimal work to fit it, and it will look much better. What wheels do you plan on running?

 

285/70/17 was the stock tire on rock crawler wheels. Looks good for stock

 

Yeah but Rock Warrior wheels are 17x8, +50. I'm guessing he's looking at a 17x8.5, 0 offset wheel. So imagine Rock Warrior wheels with stock tires and suspension but sticking out about 2.5 inches compared to stock. IMO, it won't look right.

 

Ive run oe tires on 18x9s on my truck. It doesn’t look silly imo

 

I have 255/75/17's on my 20 Platinum. Saved 20lbs per corner over the OEM 20's. It's a personal decision if you want pizza cutters or not. I think they look fine on my truck.
