On the Bubble over 255/85/16s vs 285/75/16s

Dam

You got a busy life there. I am retired and trying to slow down and smell the roses.

 

They said it was too much of a reliability.

 

Live in vegas as well were did you buy them from

 

In other words they suck unless you're off-road 100% of the time

 

Can you post a pic when you get them on ? Thanks !

 

I have Maxxis Bighorn MT in 255/85/16. My lift right now is OME nitrochargers with 885s in the front and SPC UCAs, and Dakars and nitrochargers in the rear. I have a hybrid front bumper, IFS skid, LCA skids, and bolt on sliders. My wheels are 16x8 0 offset. I rub when backing out and turning left, and also sometimes on the trails. I need to to CMC and ive trimmed my flares a little in the front.

I like the look, and wouldn't consider going to 285s. Although i dont like this tire. As soon as these wear out, ill be ordering Cooper ST Maxx

 

Nice skid.

 

255 vs 285. I won't be going back to 255

 

If your running. What's your alignment sent too

 

I am at work, and dont have the specs with me. Ill check back in later

 

I have heardoving the alignment with that tire size can make it not rub

 

I am waiting for my new suspension to come in (Icon stage V), and then I will be going back for an alignment. Hopefully then can fix the rubbing issue.

 

Right on. Would love to hear an update.

 

Those 255's look pretty good on stock suspension....I think I'm going to go with the 255's when I get to that point. Here in CO I don't think the wide tires offer much benefit on the stuff that I wheel on.

I like the look of the gun metal....I'm sending you a PM.....

 

I could have swore there was a thread where a guy had 285s on stock wheels no spacers and stock suspension and the only thing it rubbed was the uca just a hair. I want to do 285s on stock wheels and 3 inches up front the light racing upper control arms are cheaper than wheels and the new offroad wheels look good and are fairly light.

 

Here's 255 km2. I went with this size cuz I didn't want any rubbing issues. Not until I put on wheel spacers did I have to trim some of the fender liner. I've been real happy with these off-road. I would def buy again.

 

If you can find the thread send it over. I would love e to see it. Lots of conflicting info out there.

 

Why did you put on wheel spacers

 

I have the bamf Shock relocation in the rear and didn't want to rub the shock body with the tire when flexing.

 

Great Pic, I am going with the same wheels.
