Moto Metals and DuraTracs

Got tired of the cheapo steelies and Dunlops that were on my truck, so I pulled the trigger on some new Moto Metal M0955's and new rubber to go with them.

As you can see, I like chrome! What do ya think about them?

 

Nice!
Looks allot better than the old steelies!

 

You just transformed that docile pup into a raging altered beast that looks mean enough to eat your neighbor's kids! ie. Looks tough! I like it!

 

I like it!

 

That looks amazing. Duratrac's are the next tire for me!!!!!!! do you do any light trail riding or anything????

 

That is very nice.

 

nice!!! what size are those tires?

 

what size are they? Is that stock suspension? Any rubbing? LOL...I want to pull the trigger and buy a similar setup but dont want to go to large on my stock suspension... although if the tires were too big it would just force me to lift it haha

 

I considered getting the duratracs this year when I bought tires but they were so new at the time I didn't know anything about their perfomance or durability and there were no reviews to be found. They do look mean for an A/T and a few years form now when I get new tires, those ones look pretty good.

 

looks good!

 

Badass. I'm definitely grabbing a set of Duratrac's next time.

 

Thanks for the comments everyone.

These are 265/75-16's. Stock suspension. Yes, I do have a little light rubbing now....nothing at full lock, but with the wheel turned about halfway and making a slow turn I am touching the front mudflaps. They clear everything else. I'm going to have to deal with this, either trim the flaps or lift it up above the problem. I didn't start out wanting to lift it, but maybe I'm forced to now.

 

What size was your stock tire. Are you rubbing because of the new wheel. Lots of pepole say you do not rub with 265/75/16 on stock suspension. What are your mpg's now. I would like to know if there is a change if any. I'm also trying to decide on the right tire size for stock suspension. Do not want to lift the truck and I'm running stock265/70/16 And they look great But there is no M/T tire in that size. Tire sizes I'm looking at are 245/75/16,255/70/16,265/75/16. YOUR Truck looks GREAT

 

It looks like he had on the stock Dunlops at 245/75R16 and went with the Duratracs at 265/75R16 with the Moto Metals.

As far as rubbing the Moto Metals have a different offset than stock so they stick out farther which would help in eliminating any rubbing.

 

Don't know what the MPG is yet, only had them on for 3 days now. I'm sure it will be a little worse.

You're right on the tire sizes. And yes, they stick out farther...different size, different offset.
Steelies = 16x7, 30 mm offset (I think)
New Wheels = 16x8, 12 mm offset
Less offset on the new wheels and 1 in. wider made them stick out farther. They cleared the UCA and caliper, but because they stick out farther they rub the mudflaps. I tried a 16x8 with -6 offset, and they stuck out even farther and rubbed the mudflaps bad!

 

Welcome to the duratrac club
265/75R16 on stock steel rims
Tsb and 5100 @ .85
no rubbing issues at all.

 

nice job, soooo much better

 

Good looking truck. Crazy what new tires and wheels will do for a truck.

My 265/75/16s rub, but that's because my wheels are 16x10. Eventually, I'll put new billies on all around, but for now, I have a 2 1/4" spacer on the front and did a little trimming which eliminated about 95% of the rub.

 

I just put the same Wrangler Duratracs on my stock rims. I went from 245/75/16 to 265/75/16. Absolutely no rubbing, and I'm still on stock suspension. Oh, and I put the white letters in...

 

nice set up! I too want duratracs. how are they on the highway?
