The SKINNY on skinny tires

Don't trust a shop who doesn't give you a print out of the results, that's just bad business. That said, I'd be extremely surprised if this has anything to do with your alignment (toe).

 

Thanks for the pics and reply. You said you ditched the skinnies and went back to 285 on the Falkens? What size is that?? My current stock Wranglers are 265/70 R16...

 

285/75r16

 

Thank you very much! If these fit on a stock TRD Pro they're going to be a very strong consideration for me.

 

Inward as in the tops are leaning toward the center of the truck?

In any case, if they pulled some caster out of it you might gain a little clearance there but IMO that's not a good trade off. Especially if you're going to lift it. I suppose pulling some camber out and making the wheels stand up straighter would gain you some clearance where you're rubbing too.

 

Its not that simple, go to page 173 of the show your 285/75r16 / 285/70r17 thread in the third gen section. I did a pretty in depth write up on what exactly I did to fit at stock height. If you want throw on stock rims and go simple just run 255s.

 

Wow, just made it through this entire thread. I am needing new tires soon so this was great. Lots of good info here but it also seems like there is a lot of confusion and misconceptions. I think this thread (and any thread about tire/wheel sizes and rubbing) could use this sort of information:

Anybody that is wondering if a particular tire size will rub on their truck should go watch that video. It may have been posted elsewhere in the forum but it should probably be here as well

 

@teledan thanks for the video. Learning something new every day

 

His videos get posted here ALL the time. And rightfully so. He basically has a masterclass on Toyota IFS.

 

Is a re-gear required to run 255/85/16's

 

33 skinnies, nope.

 

Thanks

 

33" is on the cusp

 

Had 255/85/16s 15 years ago. I’m back with some 255/85/17s.

 

255/85/16 wildpeaks. Doesn’t look quite as small now parked next to an F250

 

Went snow wheeling yesterday. I had the only truck in a sea of side by sides. I have wildpeak atw3 235 85r16. The tires were amazing! At 23psi all the way around, I had no trouble keeping up with everyone.

I want bigger tires. Ideally I would keep them as narrow as possible. I have a 3.5" long travel kit and I'm already clear to run 35" tires but I don't want anything wide. I'm willing to change wheel size of that helps.

 

That’s awesome! You could go with a 35 skinny like Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT in 255/85r17 or Kenda Klever RT 35* 10.5r17 but that would require changing rim size as well.

 

I'm thinking about it.

 

Looooove them. Maybe get them sipped for ice.
