Price isn't necessarily a factor lol. If it's a couple bucks more, no big deal.

 

Yeah but then he has to buy new rims so its more expensive that way.

 

new rims?? i run 31x10.50 on R15...

 

He has 16" rims

 

I missed that post on other page.. well in that case yeah idk what to tell him.. get cheap alcoas from here. heheh

 

I'm going to ask a question, which is going to be completely noobish but oh well. Does the front end only have torsion bars to crank? So if I wanted to put 285's on, I just crank those bars and do nothing to the rear? How much lift should I add to the front-end for them to fit?

I may go 285s! lol

 

You probably won't need any lift since you don't have fender flares. The rear is already higher than the front so your fine.

 

I have fender flares.

 

1 - 2 inches and torsions only in front.. blocks in the rear..

 

Oh whoops I thought this was a different thread lol. On your gen the valance is much smaller than the 01+ so you'll be fine too. Redneckstone has the same truck you did and he ran 32x11.5 with no rubbing problems with no t-bar crank.

 

So I won't have to crank the t-bars to fit in 285's? 32x11.5's are also for a 15" rim.. I have 16" rims, so would that increase chances of it rubbing?

 

No but i still would oh.. wait you may not have #1 bars.

 

It doesn't matter if he has #1 bars. I would crank them as well.

 

Yeah but the will sag fast.. thats all i was saying.

 

Alright
Cool man cool. Doesn't seem too difficult to crank a t-bar anyways, so why not? lol. One last question; about the sizes. When looking at that chart on bfg's website, there's some difference in rim widths.

For example, the LT285/75R16s say 11.4 on 8, while the rugged trails i have now say P245/75R16 9.6 on 7... will those ta's fit on my rims width wise?

 

What is your rim width?? 16x7?

 

I'm guessing; if the rugged trails say they fit on a 7" width. I don't think I'd be able to use them seeing that the 285's say they will fit rim width from 7.5 - 9

 

Hmmm, I would spend the money for the TA Ko's... totally worth it..

 

I just want to be sure they'd fit before I spent $700+ dollars and have them not fit lol. I have no problem dropping $700 for some good tires.

 

i think your rim is 16x 6.5... so yeah just talk to a tire shop about what they think but i think you will be fine..

 

Is there somehow I can check what rim width I've got?

 

I ran a google search lol...

I think mine are 15x8.

But im FX4 alcoas.. which i have seen on here for a couple hundred.. = worth it..

 

Check your door jam.

 

Nope 15x7.

 

About running 285/75/R16

Would they rub at all with a stock rim because they seem to have more back-spacing than most of the aftermarket rims you guys run.
