trimming for tires??

ok just got some 285/75/16 km2s, ive posted about 285s before. the guy at my local 4x4 place "extreme machines" in hickory said they would fit no problem with a 16x8 he said i may have to trim my plastic. is this true?? i have 5100s at 2.5 up front and toytec AAL in the rear.

 

yup most likely with have to trim or live with rubbing

 

kk just making sure i didnt muff up by ordering them. thanks man

 

hey actually I just realized you are a first gen. Although I still think you may need to trim let someone with more experience chime in!

 

if you are running them with stock wheels.....you'll probably need wheel spacers, and remove the mud flaps and you'll still have to trim a bit too.

 

i have mt classic 2s....4" of BS. and mudflaps are alrede off

 

well....you should be ok on not rubbing on the uca's then, but you'll still have to do some trimming.

 

define trimming? sorry im a dumbass when it comes to tires

 

well....you'll have to cut some plastic outta the way so that the tires wont rub on it........like part of the front bumper trim maybe, maybe some of the fenderwell....just depends really.

 

ok so they will fit? may take some work tho rite?

 

they'll fit...but will definitely take some work.

 

ok i just didnt want to have to take the fender flares off and all that mess

 

they have a 30 day exchange period...is there another tire that wont take as much work?? i just feel with 265/75s you wont be able to tell any change

 

well.....im just gonna say...im happy as hell with my 265/75/16 tires.....perfect fit.....no trimming of anything.

 

yeah ur truck looks good as shit man! but how high does it sit??

 

in the front, with the 881 coils and 5100's, i gained 2 inches, and the rear,with the wheelers 5 pack leafs....i gained 1.5 inches.

 

alright man thanks for all the help

 

no prob dood!

 

what about 255/85s?
