Getting bigger tires

I got a 2.5 pro comp front leveling kit and stock rear, im getting tires and want them bigger but dont want to rub, or have to shave fenders, im thinking 285/70/16's. What do you think will look good on it?

 

Not exactly sure what that one measures out to. But with 285/70/17 or 285/75/16 you will rub. You'll rub a huge amount if you don't have wheel spacers or a new wheel with backspacing of 4.5 or less.

Even with new wheels or wheel spacers you will have to trim. And will still likely rub.

I have 285's with 2.5 of lift...

Go with a 265 tire if u don't want rubbage.

 

They look classic too.

 

I got stock 265/70/16's right now and im running on pro comp rock crawler 87 series with a 3.75 backspace, no spacers

 

And im rying to run 285/70/16 not 17's

 

Your good on wheels then.

I'd Go with 285's with probably an AAL too.

More importantly I'd get Bilstein 5100's for the front and set them to 2.5 inches instead of the profumo spacer lift.

 

okay thank you

 

You will more than likely have to trim still. And take off mud flaps.

 

I already got the flaps off im just worried about the rub hope its not to bad

 

I have 4.25 BS and I rub in reverse and hard turning over bumps.

 

what size tires you got?

 

Dude, there's only a couple tire vendors that produce the 285/70/16 and their a little pricey...Toyo and Nitto are the makers I've found and they only offer that size in a M/T.

You may still have rubbing issues...its the width, not the height thats gonna be an issue. You still may rub on your cab mounts

 

So in your stright opinion what exact tire should I get that'll look aggressive and hass little to no rubbing onb height or width?

 

not true.....i hate to rain on people's parade but i have realized not many people here actually know what will and wont work....

im am running 285/70's with nothing but i levelin kit and i got all the room in the world...i am adding a 3" body lift this week and will be stepping up to 35's, which everyone on here says wont work.....im gonna post my pics within the next couple weeks when all is complete

 

How bad are you rubbing with the 285's?

 

If you want no rubbing issues 265/75/16

 

they dont rub no matter what terrain i am on and nothin in my fender wells have been cut......its all factory

 

Oh I KNOW what will and won't fir without rubbing...

You CAN fit 33s and 35s but you'll rub like shit and that's what the OP doesn't want!!

 

285/70/16's add up to a 31.71 overall diameter and im getting nitto mud grapplers

 

I know bud but its the width thats the issue...not the height


The width is what makes you rub
