285 vs 315 Why one over the other?

i love this truck

 

285's cause I'm not cuttin anything (Yet)

 

255's

 

Someone had to do it.

 

Not as much as you're hoping.











You can make them fit but it's gonna take a willingness to cut sheetmetal and beat the fuck out of whatever is in the way. Even then I still rub a little.

 

I had an oh shit moment... Realized I still had wheel spacers in and that was the reason it was hitting the pinch weld. Now only a little rubbing in reverse while turning.

 

i wish i didn't need to run spacers

 

Why are you running spacers?

 

Match the fiberglass better and also i had too much back spacing on my wheels they hit either my spindle or caliper

Also running them in the rear to clear the 2.5's and shock hoops, so it would look weird to have a wider rear than front

 

My rear is a little wider right now. But the spacers arent needed front or rear right now for me. Rear fiber bed sides are already paid for just need to get them on.

 

Your rear is wider even with spindles up front?

 

Yes because of no spacers on the front and the spidertrax on the rear.

 

Gotcha. missed the spidertrax in the rear

 

I'm running a 3” Procomp lift, 17x9 RBP 93R wheels with a 4.5” backspace, and 305/65/17 Procomp Xtreme AT tires. Very little trimming. Still rubs a little in reverse in full lock.

 

kinda figured that. lol

 

Thats a sweet shot. 305's are the answer according to the 10 billion measurements I made. I forgot who put 255, I'm already running 265 with plenty of clearance. Enough that the tire looks to small, that's the reason for the larger size. I could run 265 on stock suspension. Anyway, thanks for all your suggestions, but 305 and looks like I'll jave to do a couple of minor trims to the front well.
