I've decided to get the nitto terra grapplers and i was just wondering if i can fit 285/75/16's on the stock tear drop style wheels. i have a big vision for them that i dont want to share until i do it so people can copy me lol but i want to make sure they will fit the rims before i go out and buy them

 

the 285/75 is 11.2-11.5" width, i believe, so o would think the stock wheels should be fine.

 

Are you planning on doing a body lift? If you arn't then you will not have any problem with them. If you are you are going to rub your rear box. I have a buddy who is running 285's on his stockers with a body lift, and they have no problems.

 

im gonna get the tires soon and set them aside until i can get all the lift i want (superlift and maybe 3 inch body on top of that) but i cant afford it all at once but i just wanted to make sure i could fit them on the stockers.

 

I was running 285/70-17's with just a slight t-bar crank with no rubbing and no problems, mount em up and take pics already!

 

Like Chris said, crank the t bars and mount them up.

Pictures get it done FTMFW

 

I'm running 285's right now..

I think you will be better off with a 8" wide wheel verses the stock 7"

The tires will balloon slightly more on a 7, I could see more rubbing, Posibbly even frame rub..

a 3 inch BL. would be good to have..

 

I'm also running 285's I believe my rim measures 7.5" wide, I was concerned when I bought my tires as well, but no problems so far, I'm very happy with my choice of tire size. Hope this helps.

 

alright then. well when Uncle Sam gets me my tax check (should be in the next week or so) im defenitely ordering some rubber

 

it will look like this

 

you sold me!

 

I would really go for an 8in rim. I had that same size on my stock tear drops and the tires balloned and it wore the center of the tire prematurley.

Go with the 8's.

 

not what i wanted to hear but I'd rather spend the money and keep the tires for a while thanks for the tip.
