Looks like these are 2" in dia larger than the 265/75's.
Anyone running these? Any clearance issues?

: Anyone running 255/85-16’s on a stock truck? _nar_ 02-27-2004, 12:16 AM do a search for that, there was a guy running them and they looked sweet.. he had cranked his TBs a couple turns is all... conradv 02-27-2004, 02:43 PM I had to shave off about an inch of the very inside edge (point) of the front bumper as it was just too close. I also tied had to screw in my front flaps a little better & tie back a cable, because backing up and turning my drivers side would rub a little. Other than that, no problems & they look so much sweeter then the stock POS's. 255's photo (http://community.webshots.com/photo/53238125/94110105XekMEB)Edited by: conradv McRat 02-27-2004, 04:04 PM Thanks! Can't seem to find "E" rated 255's. Anyone make them? (better mileage with E rated) GreenDuramax04 02-27-2004, 05:25 PM My brother runs the 255/85's on his truck. They are about as tall as my 285/75's but are not nearly as wide. My 285's look alot better and do not rub. I would stick with the 285/75's.

Jesse lol - I think the exact opposite - I don't like the look of fat tires at all - skinny tall tires are an older style for trucks... thats' what makes this place great - we can all agree to disagree.... 1BADDMAX 02-27-2004, 05:55 PM I've been running Dunlop Mud Rovers in this size since July. It's a great size tire and it fits nicely in the wheel well. http://www.picturetrail.com/1baddmax/Edited by: 1BADDMAX Blue Max 02-27-2004, 06:07 PM I think Cooper makes E rated 255x86-16 IIRC. _nar_ 02-27-2004, 10:02 PM 1baddmax's was the truck I was thinking about when I posted before, just couldn't remember who it was at the time. That truck looks great on those tires...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif White Duramax 02-27-2004, 10:23 PM Dunlop makes them in Mud tires and AT's and BFG makes them in Mud tires. McRat 02-27-2004, 10:42 PM My wife thinks I'm crazy replacing brand new tires. She's right. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif Rubberfish 02-28-2004, 12:56 AM I've been running 255/85/16 mud tires on my '97 for years now. A couple of turns on the TB and they're good to gohttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif Have to agree on the look and the handling. | ||
