New Wheels and Tires

I got my wheels and tires out on yesterday after work and i gotta say they look pretty sick. I picked up some MB Gunner 6's and wrapped them in 245/75/16 Goodyear DuraTrac A/T's with Kevlar. I wanted to out 265/75/16's on but when the guy slapped them on they actually rubbed the fender.
I was lucky because i have a buddy that works for Goodyear and he hooked me up with an amazing deal on these tires.
I gotta say im surprised with how smooth they ride seeing as they have a pretty aggressive tread on them. I can't wait to see how they do offroad next weekend

 

hmm, the 265's rubbed? i just put 16x8 with 265/75 duratracs and they do not hit anywhere, and i have the same truck as you. granted, i only lightly wheeled once in the truck, but so far they have yet to touch after a 1000 miles.

on a positive notice, truck looks awesome, and the tires are wicked! good luck with it.

 

My 265s don't rub either w/stock suspension on all 4 corners...regardless, looks great! And it is nice to see someone without black aftermarkets for a change : )

 

Thanks for the compliments

I had the guy install the 265's and witht he wheel turned all the way in either direction there was only about a half inch of space and i didnt want to drive off and not be able to return them because of the rubbing.... I think the backspacing i got on the wheels pushed the wheels and tires outward. I think this is why they wouldnt fit

 

Half an inch is like a mile, most guys are happy with 1/8" clearance.

 

Wheels and tires look great. Sharp truck.

 

my bet is that they were rubbing the mudflaps. i removed my mudflaps, and i have no issue. well, you know for next time.

 

Yea but as you turned the wheels the corner of the tire was nipping the part of the fender flare mounted to the bumper..... i didnt want to rip it off.
Im pretty happy with the 245's anyway.

 

Thanks

 

good looking wheel and tire package.

 

Looks good! What is the backspacing on the wheels do you know?

 

The offset is -6..... im not really sure what this means though

 

lol. you copied me.


Thought you were going to get these based on your previous posts:

What made you want to change?

 

-6 offset is 4.25 backspacing firefighter

 

Yea i was looking at those and i really like them. You kinda turned me on to the gunners though.

 

Man, that looks good!

Damn...I had just about talked myself into keeping the wheels that came on the truck and you go and post pics of yours!
