255/85-R16 and rubbing?

I'm considering moving into some Cooper S/T Maxx in 255/85-R16. I'm currently running 265/75-R16 Duratracs on TRD 'bead lock' rims. I'm running about 2" - 2 ¼" lift on Toytec BOSS coil overs.

Will the new tires rub?

I'd prefer not to do a cab mount chop and minimal trimming if any and why I'm avoiding the 285/75-R16s.

 

Rub on what? they are essentially the same width but just a little taller..

 

No you won't rub

 

Steering stops, full stuff, etc.

I like trial and error but thought it best to ask those who may have actual apples to apples experience specific to my set up.

 

well again its the same width as your current tire so if you rub frame now you will still, you will need to cut and smash your pinch weld area for best clearance as the new size is around 1 inch taller give or take.

 

Those are typically both the same tire.An inch taller i believe give or take.I don't think you'll have a issue.

 

I just made the move with the same amount of lift. I flexed it a little this past weekend with zero rubbing. You'll be fine - and really happy with the taller tires.

 

Pics?

 

Your going to love the added lift from the 255s


No rubbing with stock wheels and a slightly taller lift (then OP) - 3"



new gears are next on the list

 

@58 Siesta which 255/85r16s are those? They look really good how they fill the wheel well. 265's look small too small with my lift which is about the same as yours. Just threw some cheap Craigslist 285/75/16s on my truck and they're way
Too wide!

 

Toyo M55

 

Thanks

 

No rubbing for the most part.

 

Ya definitely. I have 8.5 rims so i dont know if they'd stretch that much. wish bfg made em. Having a hell of a time finding a good looking all terrain in that size. About to lookup the m55s

 

anyone know of a 255/85R16 that is not in a load range E?

 

My wheels are 16x8....running 255/85/16 KM2's

 

5100s with 884s in the front.
Rubbed UCAs and bumper. Added Spidertrax and trimmed bumper. No more rub on UCAs, only rub on bumper and a little on mud flap when in full turn and going over a bump (curb, ditch, etc)

 

33.4" diameter, 59 pounds - I think. Ignore the price. It's not important.

 

I just rub on some plastic that imma cut and the front mudflap had to go
