Decisions decisions.

I have a 3" leveling kit, with 1.5" wheel spacers on my truck. I need some help with what tire size I should go with, on my stock rims. Any advice, input, or help is greatly appreciated.

**Disregard my other post.

 

Bump

 

Are you ok with trimming up plastic, and possibly cutting some metal?

 

Tryna avoid cutting or trimming anything.

 

If you want to completely avoid it 100%, go with 265/75r16, and just pick a really aggressive tire. Then you are guaranteed not to rub, and it'll still look good with a lift.

 

I'm not comfortable with 285s on 7" wide rims; others are.

 

The 265's look super small with a 3" lift, I want a more beefy look.

 

No they don't. That's why you have to pick a really aggressive tire. I was running that set up, and just switched to a 285. I love it way more, but I also had to do cutting and trimming so they don't rub, which I'm ok with.

 

If worse comes to worse and I have to trim with 285's, then I'll just end up trimming.

 

Local shop told me that 285's would fit good with a 1.25" or 1.5" wheel spacer though. But we'll see.

 

Here's my truck with 265/70r17 General Grabber AT2s. They're a fairly aggressive AT.

Here it is as of a few days ago with 285/75r16 Cooper discoverer MTPs. So far I've done the CMC, hammered the pinch weld and trimmed some plastic.

 

Looks good. Why did you end up going with bigger tires?

 

Because I change my mind on stuff like crazy.

Told myself I wasn't going to lift it so I bought aggressive tires to fit stock suspension.

Went wheeling one time and decided to lift it.

Then I (of course) wanted to go bigger, so I bought the bigger tires since I've gotten more serious into wheeling.

 

something simple, but trying to go for this look. This truck has 285/75R16 trail grapplers.

 

I have a 3" leveling on mine, and don't think im gonna be doing any off roading.

 

I think deep down you want 285s and won't be happy otherwise, so I think the smart financial decision is to just get 285s. Before you do though, read this thread because it's a real possibility that you'll have to do a CMC.
