I just got on my 285/75/16 Destination tires and 16x8 Ion 148 wheels. I cranked the torsion bars about 6 turns and did some minor trimming.

The wheels are backspaced around 4 1/2. I really like the tires they are pretty quit for being such a aggressive mud tire. I have friends that have them on HD trucks and they say they wear really good

Looks good. I had some problems with my Firestones comming apart in the front. Keep an eye on the sidewalls. might not be so bad with different rims, but watch em anyway.

i have the same tires on my hd2500 have put 21000 miles wears good but i do reccomend rotating every 5k when you do your oil change i have done this religously & my neighbor does his every 10k & he has replace his already at 25k, i am also happy with the lack of road noise & vibration. good choice
