I'm looking to put 265-70-16 on 16 x 8 rims on a 04 2500hd stock suspension. I was just curious if they would fit and if so does anyone have pics of this combo. thanks

They fit but don't carry lots of weight. Why not using 265/75/16 for your application?

THey will definantly fit, but i would go with 265 75 16 or bigger, just looks better, TRUST ME, i put 285 75 16 on my HD and no problems, rides like a Dream, i used BF Goodrich All Terians KO, i would give you pics but my cam is screwed up....

ive got 285 BFG M/T's and they fit fine other than minor trimming of the lower part of air dam, or whatever the hell that thing is called. Oh and cranked my tbars 5 turns. 265's will fit easily

I just installed Bridgestone 305/70/16 on 16/8 wheels...PERFECT FIT!!! I also trimmed the airdam and cracked the torsion bars...They look alot better than my old 285/75/16....OH YA,YOU DEFINETLY WILL NEED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT!!!

I guess the only reason I wanted to use the 265's is that I just put them on my stock rims, but now that I know I can fit bigger, maybe I will try to sell the rims with the tires. thanks for the info.
