    I'm running 265/70-17 which is .4" bigger than that tire on my stock set-up. I had to remove the small flaps in front of the front wheel wells because I was hitting the passenger side one when going in reverse. Other than that, no issues. You should be fine with no changes.

    Damn, was really hoping to hear if someone had this tire size to see. But my dad said my truck doesnt have the front flaps so I shouldnt have that problem. I wanna save money where I can cause the tires are gonna be 1078 $

    265/75-16 is probably what you should get if you're trying to save money. Nothing to worry about with that size.

    I personally don't think that .4" would be all that noticeable of a difference. If you were looking at 285s then you'd notice the size difference more. Do you have meaty tires right now? If not, going to meaty off-road 265s (duratracs/AT-KOs) would make a big difference in the looks.

    Yeah but you're lifted, not sure if that makes a difference.

    Wish I would've known I was going to lift my truck when I put new tires on a month ago....would've probably gone that size instead of 265s. Oh well, I think it'll still look fine, just not quite as good.

    Well on my truck now is a 245/75/16. Sticking with stock rims. I want a beefy off road look which I get from those BFGs and I want them to last a long time.
