I notice that a lot a owners are putting 285x75x16 tyres on the stock 6.5 rims, has any one put them on the 16x8 rims and if so how are they and what did they have to cut away. i am in Australi and cannot put 285x75x16 on stock rims.

I put 285's on 16x8 Centerline Hellcat's on my 02 HD gasser and only had to trim the lower plastic valance on the bumper. I also turned the torsion bars up about 5 turns. Looked :thumb:

I put mine on Eagle alloy series 187 with 4.5" backspace. I had to remove my front mudflaps, trim my front bumper, tie back the emergency brake cable and fenderliner, and tie the front of the driver's side fenderliner forward. I only have slight rubbing while backing. I believe my torsion bars are cranked about 1/2 higher than stock ride height. You can look in my garage for photos and look me up on yahoo photos with my same user id as I use on here.

I have 285's on some 16x8's and I had to do some trimming on the front lower valance and trim the mudflap and of course crank on the t-bars a little but they look great.
