    Big fan of my skinny BFGs. I've had them for about 8000 miles now, and they work great on and off road. The extra tire height over the 265/75/16s really helps in the rutted out two tracks we have around here.

    Very nice. What is your suspension setup?

    He's on TRD pro suspension. Don't believe he's changed the front at all but I think he did an AAL in the rear.

    getting my OME 885/Dakar package installed this week, details here getting me leaning towards 255/85/16 tires. Not sure whether BFG or Coopers at this point but looking forward to the new setup.

    Yep, TRD Pro up front, and a 1" block in the back. I've got a set of Toytec spacers for up front, and a Wheeler's 3 leaf for the rear, just haven't had time to install them yet. They weren't necessary to clear the tires, but with the added weight of everything I've added, and future things going on, I figured it couldn't hurt.

    It looks like some people are successfully running the 255/85R16 on 8" wide wheels (and I know that is the top of the range that most manufacturers recommend for that tire). Any major downsides to running 8" as opposed to 7"? I'm having trouble finding good wheel options in the 16X7 size because I'm looking for a very specific look (NATO/steelie).

    My Coopers fit in the spare location with no extra modding, probably bc I have an aftermarket bumper

    The ST Maxx run smaller than other 255's or so it seems from other posters , maybe thats why they fit

    Do you think you are rubbing primarily because of the wheel backspacing/offset, or because of the diameter of the tire. (I am trying to decide between a 4.0 backspace and 4.5 backspace.) Thanks

    After searching all over to find best options, I've found a local shop who is willing to work with me on pricing. I'll know tomorrow AM if the manager approves and if so I'm pulling the trigger on the Coopers. I'll update as thing progress.

    wow - that's a great price! is that for four or five? I'm doing all 5 and the best I'm finding here locally is around $225/each. That's about the same as I could get them on tread depot, including the shipping, and this way I'll have a local shop to deal with if there are any issues, and the mounting/balancing is much less.
