i did it

i did it i ordered new tires went with pro com x-terrins 285/75/16 and a pro com 3in lift should have everything at the beginning of next week

 

man you go to post some pics when you get it all installed

 

i will as soon as i get everything i will start the install

 

Those look like some mean tires!
do you mind telling me through whom you purchased the tires and for how much?!

 

i got them off ebay from a company called macromotive the ship from 12 wherehouse across the country the cost for 4 with shipping was $643.00

 

whoa!!! green that is a monster wheel have to post pics when install them, btw where are you going to park that beast

 

Those are some cool tires. Ebay can be really great if you just take the time to browse around!

 

skies i didn't get so lucky like green when i browsed for my tires. i got a great deal free shipping from discounttirestore.com for my 295/40/20's all four came out to $600 compare to ebay's $298 per tire

 

i think pro comp is runnig a deal this month buy 3 get one free i cant wait to get started i will post pics asap i just wish i had the stuff already

 

Holy thread revival batman!

285's Will is too big to fit on a stock truck. I believe 265/70/16 or so is the stock size and you might be okay with 265/75/16 on a stock truck.

 

265/75R16 will rub on a stock DC...especially if the stock suspension has any wear-N-tear on it. I have Toytec coilvers set at approximately 2 3/4", Alcan 5-leaf packs, and LR UCAs and still rub a little when turning.

 

Thanks for the correction

 

No problem...I should clarify that they barely rub the back of the wheel well when turning. If I would trim the plastic and remove the mud flap, then they wouldn't rub at all.

 

These are 305/70s, but still look the same. Dont rub too much after pinch weld mod. They are amazing in sand, ok in mud, and loud on the street. Love mine though.

EDIT: Last FOREVER.

 

Sweet tires, bet they roar going down the road...

 

Unless the different brands of 265/75/16 fit differently...

When I had worn out springs I ran 265/75/16 Firestone Destination LE without a problem on my 01 DC Prerunner V6. The only thing I noticed what my MPG dropping from 20mpg avg to 17.5mpg avg. Ran that way from Dec 2010 to Feb 2012.

 

Because they're too wide or too tall? would spacers keep them from rubbing, is what i'm wondering?

 

I have them they are wicked soft compared to other tires (which means they are sticky on the rocks) Though i think i will be lucky to get 35k out of them.

 

That's a sick picture. Sway bar disconnected? Can your front left tire even move when it's shoved up against the well like that?

 

I'm runnin 265/75/16 on all stock (145k mi) w/o any rubbing. They are Cooper Discover ATR's
