3" lift tire combo

what are the best size tires for a 3" lift?

 

35s

 

Depends on if you want to do some trimming and a can mount chop. I plan on either 265/75 or 255/85 so that I will trim nothing or close to nothing

 

Would I have to trim 285/70r16?

 

Yes

 

I just put some 285's, and they sure look sweet, I just took off the mud flaps and I'm not rubbing, but I do hit the wheel well every now and then when I drive through dips. So if you do any off roading you'll definitely need to do some trimming/ CMC which I plan to do soon. Many people stick to 265's and look good too though. Just my 2 cents..

 

I can confirm that with Cooper Discoverer MTP 285/75r16, you will rub hard when turning and on the brakes or hitting a bump. So, I'm currently in the process of shopping for new tires to replace those with.

 

I have no rub with 275/70/17's

 

Rubbing/trimming is very minor with 285s if you do a CMC and get caster to 3* or more, which means aftermarket UCAs.

It only loads the first 250 threads on this topic, but it's a start.

 

Hmm, I'm getting pretty hard rubbing, especially on the drivers side, even after removing the mud flaps and trimming. I do have aftermarket UCAs. What is a CMC?
If I turn much more than in that pic and hit a bump, even turning into a drive way, it will rub.

 

CMC is a cab mount chop

 

Oh geez. Seems extreme for my uses. lol. I think down sizing is a more reasonable path.

 

Are you running 285/70 or 75?

 

285/75r16

 

I wonder if you went to a 70 would it make much of a difference

 

Ya, I've wondered that as well. It's a pricey mistake and I'd hate to be wrong a 2nd time.

 

Do you have a photo of your truck?

 

I feel you on that. Hopefully somebody with 285/70 will comment

 

285/75/16's at or close to full stuff and flex
