255 85r16 on 2nd gen

Hey guys! Currently have the toytec adjustable lift set on highest setting(roughly 2.5 inch lift) am i able to put 255 85r16s on with little to no rubbing? Currently on the stock wheel with a 1 inch wheel spacer. Was looking at the dick cepek extreme countrys website says they measure 32.8 x 10.2. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

yes and no rubbing

 

Yes,but maybe some rubbing

 

3 inch lift here. No spacers. Cooper St Maxx. No rubbing.

 

I ran those tires with 1" spacers, had to trim, CMC, pinch weld smash etc

 

Damn def not trying to do the cmc or pinch weld smash, trimming is fine

 

The key to fitting 255/85/16s is to run a wheel with the same specs as stock, without any wheel spacers. You want this to fit inside the wheel well. I've been running this size for several years without problems.

 

Same here cept 255/80/17 on stock wheels no spacers.

 

So without the wheel spacer i should be fine?

 

yes

You might rub the uca slightly, if yours are still stock, but not enough to worry about. At full compression while steering you will also rub the back of the wheel well if you are still on stock ucas, but that's not really any problem either. There's nothing wrong with slight rubbing.

 

Put it this way, the 255 is your biggest tire you can possibly do with your setup that shouldnt need more modifications. I say go for it and see what happens. From there you can tweek as needed. That's part of the fun!

 

I've been running this size tire for about 2 years now. Had to do the CMC, beat the pinch weld and trim my fenders in order for my wheel well to accommodate full tuck at full steering lock. It really comes down to caster angle. I have always kept mine within stock specs. However, if you run 3 or 4 degrees of caster it will clear no problem (or so I hear).

 

Alot of it has to do with wheel backspace. I think mine are 4.5

 

You guys are awesome thanks for the help! Ill be ordering tonight, will see how it works out lol

 

Tell is how it goes

 

Stock steel wheels are 5.25 backspace. The spacer gives you 4.25. you may just clear wihout issue

 

I am running the DC extreme country in 255/85/16. I have OME 887s and SPC UCA. I have rubbed with two different alignments. The current alignment isn't terrible. I am currently sitting at 3.1, 3.0 castor and 0 toe. I do have like .2 and .3 positive camber.

Long story short, they fit without CMC or pinch weld smash. I have not fully compressed offroad yet. I did end up losing my mudflaps (small front and the normal front mudflap) I also had to trim about an inch off my fender flare. I haven't rubbed anything since i did that little bit of trimming.

I took the gamble, and it worked for me. I also have close to a full 3" in the front though.

 

What wheels are you running? This is a more important factor than the amount of lift.

 

Never brought up lift specs, only alignment specs... But I'm running the TRD Baja wheels, they have 4.5 inches of backspacing.

 

Yeah, I wasn't directing the second sentence toward you - just a general statement.

That 4.5" BS is the issue at hand
