Bigger tires

got an 09 standard cab 4 wd. 2.5 lift in front. inch in back. 245/75/16 original tires but time for new ones. would really like to go to 265/75/16 for looks. will I regret it? What problems will I have? Also, if I have a flat and use original spare will it tear anything up?

 

Go for it. That size will fit, look great and give you zero issues. Running stock spare temporarily with open differentials won't cause any harm. If its on the front, the steering wheel will be crooked. Get a full size spare.

 

Or you could trade or buy a used 235/85r16 as a spare, same diameter as 265/75r16, but an inch or so thinner. It will hang down lower under bed.

 

I have 265/75/16 with no rubbing stock or lifted.

 

MPGs will be negatively effected, but small price to pay.
