    Is anyone here running 235/85/16 tires? What rims are you running them on? My 2009 DC came with Gulf state dealers chrome rims and I want to know if the 235/85/16's will be too narrow to run on my rims that I have or do I need to get some stock Steel rims before I go this route? Thanks in advance.

    I think 235's will look silly, but hey your truck.

    They fit great on 16x7 rims, IIRC, 16x7.5 is the widest rim recommended, not sure how wide the GST rims are, but it should be stamped or cast into the rim.

    Look silly? Not IMHO.

    The functionality of tall, skinny tires in deep snow is impressive too.
