Aren't 255s a hair smaller (.15-2") in diameter on average? When I was shopping skinny tires for 16s, they were all a hair smaller. Then I went wild and got 285 duratracs with the deepest tread possible.. and the rest of my fender liner is history.

I've checked those out, but I look at what tire manufacture spec is too. When I was looking at Cooper ST Maxx tires, the 255/85/16 was 32.8" and the 285/75/16 was 32.91", and about an inch wider. My 285/75/16 Duratracs are 33.1".

I dunno, happy cutting

 

I have a spare set of F5's that are 3.5 BS but Im LT so it doesn't matter.

 

My fn bfd's 18x9 5" bs on 285s held the bead just fine wen we went up to peacocks. I was running 15psi up front an 10 psi in the rear.

 

285's are wider than the 255's he is asking about.

 

And you can probably run a 20" x 14" rim with 10" wide low pro tire stretched on it and be fine if you are just staying on the normal roads at the flats. So, to answer his question, if he's not going to do much wheeling, he'll be fine. He'll just have to clearance for the 3.5 bs wheels.

 

Not sure this is the tire you are going for, but this is the only one in that size on tire rack. Not too much over. Should be okay, but your lip will have very little protection.

 

Well I've decided against it, sounds like too much hassle. I appreciate the input y'all.

 

U could always cut your fenders like @deeezy

 

Any reason why you want those instead of something with normal backspacing?

 

33.3"!

I only went ST Maxx cause it's the only "non-true" (?) 33" tire. Toyo MT's (I think Mike runs them) and KM2's are both larger than 33". I don't have the skills or resources to clearance that much stuff.

 

Killa truck bro seen u on da freeway today

 

Sarah emailed me about this. I'll try an hook you up brotha.

Thanks guys! Just trying to keep up with all you hammahz on here

 

Would there be any interest here for Rays racing Volk TE37 wheels? They are pricey and there are plenty replicas out there, but I might be able to bring these in. Just gauging interest to see if it's worth me looking into
