Trying to fit 285/75R16 on stock wheel.

Maybe the 285 aren't worth the hassle of trying to make them fit.

Are you happy with the 265/75/16? Any rubbing with those?

 

Very happy with the 265's, though sometimes I do miss the 285's for offroad capability and looks. However when I fill up I remember my love-hate relationship with the 285's! Zero rub with 265's. Good luck, show pics!

i drop quite a bit of money on gas with 285-75 KM2s...

 

Yeah and with continually rising gas prices it might be smart to stick with a 265. That way no spacers or rubbing issues.

 

NegroTundra when you ran the 285's did you have the stock UCA?

 

Is it necessary to remove the front mudflaps to fit 285's? I see that the pinch weld sticks past the mudflap and would like to keep the mudflap it if at all possible.

Thanks

 

Bump

 

I had to take mine off. After doing the pinchweld mod, the mounting in the middle for my mudflaps wouldn't work anymore. Also I think they would hit the tire anyway.

 

did you try adjusting your caster forward?

 

Oh yeah I got everything set, I just left them off because i've got sliders anyway.

 

Think I am going to get Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10 LT285/75R16 and run a 1/4 inch spacers in the front to pull it out from the UCA. Making the backspacing roughly 4.375". Any thoughts on using just a 1/4 inch spacer since I have have the Light Racing UCA?

Thanks

 

I just put some 285/75/16 with 16x8 and 4.5" BS and they rub on the frame at full lock. I would get a rim with a smaller bs and you wont have any problems. Dont get spacers if you dont need to, they fuck up your angles and are hard on your parts. Just take a look at your local junkyard and find some cheap rims. Thats what im planning on doing.

 

Yeah i had stock UCA's

 

That's exactly what I have now, and at stock height with stick wheels, it rubbed a bit on the rear side of the frame at full lock (to both sides) just on the street.

A year ago I put 5100's on the middle setting and it hasn't rubbed since.

Now I'm planning on 285's and going to 2.5" on the front. It might rub a bit, but like others have said, hammer the pinch weld, and you should be fine, but it still might rub during articulation.

 

Just a FYI a 285/75/16 WILL NOT fit on a stock 04 Tacoma with the stock wheel and UCA without wheel spacers! I know the bush is being beat around here a little but I tried it today and it hits the stock UCA.
Just wanted to make it clear for anyone that was not sure.

 

What about 275's????

 

I have a 2012 Toyota Tacoma and I have a 4”lift on it now. I bought pro comp steel wheels 16x10 that have 4”bs and -38mm offset. But I can not mount up because they hit the caliper. So any suggestions on a fix or even another steel wheel that I could get that would work with 285/75/16 mud terrain tires???

 

I tried so many different steelie 16s on my 2010--and only the Konig Countersteers by FN worked for me (aka cleared the caliper). I run the exact same tire size as you, and I get a little rub (OME lift, so not as much clearance as it looks like you have). Follow the link. They aren't steelies, but they have held up beautifully for me, and I take my truck offroad every day.

Good luck!
