Default 16" wheel guys inside...

What size tires are you all running?? I surrently have 255/65 General UHP's all the way around.... They are getting some miles on them so I'm looking to replace them with something about the same profile but wider. (275-295) The truck is dropped 3/5 and has 4.10's so I dont want to go any shorter...

Let me know what you are running... maybe a pic would help too...

I'm running 275/70R16's. I don't have any drop as seen in the sig pic. But I am planning on going to 265/70R 16's when the time comes, I'm running 3.73 R&P's..............

No way is that gonna work right on the stockers - just too wide. BFG is suggesting a 8.5" wheel for those. You're gonna hafta bite the bullet and get some billets.

Just put a set of 255/70 on mine. Like so far, but next time I hope the budget is where I can put some 18's on it (want drop spindles).

I have had 17's and 18's... I want another set of 17's really but for now I'm wearing these, which arent all that terrible. I like the stock'ish look.... I've seen that size tire on a stock wheel and it looked fine. the stockers are only 1 inch narrower... M/T wants a 10" rim for their 12.5W e/t's but plenty of people run them on stock 7.5 rims... it may bubble a bit but it will be fine IMO...

Hey bro, I run the Yokohama Geolandar H/T (street tread) in the 275/70 R 16. They wear like a pigs nose but they hook up well for the occasional street race!./.....lol
