I am trying to get my ducks-in-a-row for my tire decision which I am more than likely going to have to do in about 6 or so months. I plan on lowering the rear of my truck 2 more inches using shackles and lowering the front by trimming the bump-stops some and loosening the torsion bar bolts. I would like to run a shorter tire that is also wider. Would it be possible for me to run a 285/60/16 tire all around? The height is only about 1 inch shorter than my stock 245/75/16 tire I have now but I am more concerned about rubbing at full lock. If anyone has run this combination before please let me know. Thanks in advance.

 

I'm running 275/60/16 Toyo Proxies on stock rims on my 4x4. They are 28" tall, I don't care what the tire calculate say its "supposed" be, that what the tape measure says. I lowered it with removing the rear blocks and took 5 turns off the torsion bars. I have no rubbing issues. Pic is in the sig.

 

kb, do you have any pics from the rear quarter so I can see the width? I would like to run something pretty wide and I saw V8's truck with 285/60/16 on the rear and I just loved it. I think he has a 2/4 drop so I would be a bit higher but not by much. Thanks

 

Im runnning the 285/60 16's on mine, no rubbing problems at all.

 

white, any chance you can post some pics or a link to some with the tires on it? Thanks.

 

Ye, Ill try to get some pics for you.

 

White, thanks in advance for the pics. Also, what brand tires are you running? Any suspension mods? Thanks

 

I had Goodyear GTII, but the back two were a little worn, and I broke a rim, so now they are mismatched. I have teh goodyears on the front, and bfg's on th eback. I have 2" shackles in the back, and loosend torsion bars in the front. I think it would look better if I dropped it another 2" all around, but Ill be bringing it back up for hunting season, and I dont want to drop the front another 2" with the torsion bars, so itll probably just stay how it is.

 

I'm running 33x12.50x17 with no probs
