    Bilstein 5100 all around with 2885 coils up front. OME full pack replacement rear. 1.25” spidertraxx spacers. 255/85/16 Cooper ST Maxx. softoppper.
    I've exhausted the search button but can't seem to find any specific opinion, or photos, on the difference between these two tire options.

    My lift kit is on its way from headstrong. 885 coils on 5100's all around, full medium dakar leaf pack replacement.

    looking to keep my stock wheels.

    thanks for any help ya'll can give. if anyone has photos, that would be swell.

    thanks, I've seen that one and read through the 200+ page 'skinny on skinny tires' thread. haven't been able to find any photos of someone with my lift setup and the 255/85/16s

    seen a bunch of the 265/75/16s.

    I read so much positive stuff about the 255/85/16s on stock suspension. seems like a great tire.

    very curious about that tire on a 2' lift and stock wheels.

    Nope, sorry. My eyes were playing tricks on me. I could of swore the title of that thread was 255/85/16 and 255/80/17.
    Guess I was more tired than I thought.

    Added camburg uca and spydetrax wheel spacers and still rubbing. Maybe have to get out the hot air gun to push back the well and maybe remove the fender guards.

    Gonna take off those fender guards on Monday. Feels great going straight. Reminds me of putting a card in my bicycle spokes as a kid, when I make a turn though.
