295 and 305 help

ok ive tried looking for info on this. but cant find much at all so ill ask you wonderfull TWers. how many out there are running 295 or 305 wide tires. (33" tall tire). my rim is a 16x8 with a 4.25 backspacing. and i have a 3" lift. any major issues? i dont mind trimmimg all that just want to know what im getting into. any pics would be wicked too.
thanks for the help.

 

you'll want a larger rim, otherwise you're gonna have a decent amount of crowning around the rim. I would look for an 8.5-9 inch wheel.

 

Go with a 9" (width) rim.
You will need to quite a bit of trimming on the inner fender trim
You will also need a cab-mount chop if you want to remain "rub free". You'll need it regardless with 305's

 

i figured as much with the trimming. just wanted to make sure. so having 2" of tire pass the rim isnt good. why is this? that sucks cuz i just bought the rims the other week and im picking them up soon.
