    Yeah I am not sure I know tons of people run the SCS Wheels and they are -10 and don't have any problems. I also am not a professional. I went with what everyone on here said would be the most safe option. Which was land somewhere around a 4.5 BS, so that's exactly what I did.

    Ok this may sound stupid, but I just want to make sure I am thinking of this correctly. Currently stock sport so, 265/65/17 so if going to 255/80/17 truck will be 1.25 inches higher? :crapstorm:

    What did you have to do to make them fit? I'm thinking they might be the tires for me within the next couple weeks. Are those the factory front mud flap's?

    Toyo MT 255/85r16 super discounted on Amazon right now FYI

    Well below the lowest price they've ever been, too bad I don't need new tires cause I would snag these up

    I have OME lift and replaced my worn Dick Cepek 255's that never rubbed. These rub just slightly on the mud flap but havent done any cutting. Nice thing about the 255 size is you don't run into the problems 285s do. Looks much better IMO. And yes these are the factory mud flaps.

    Thanks for the info, your truck looks great with that setup.
