Need some help from the tire/wheel gurus

txbass06 · Feb 23, 2011

What I'm wanting to do is put a set of 35's on my truck after finally finding a set of wheels I like.
Specs:
# Size: 16x8
# Offset: 10mm
# Backspacing: 4.92"

Would these work without any rubbing issues or am I going to have to spend another 6 months looking for more wheels?

Also, this will be after I level the front of the truck

If these wheels wouldn't work, I'll just put them on my factory wheels for now

sorry if your truck was a 3rd gen I could give you some of what I learned, but when it comes to a 2nd gen I have no clue.

What sized tires do you have now? And what size is the leveling kit you're gonna run? 2.5? or so?

Bigtman07 · Feb 23, 2011

I'm not 100% on the wheels I still have stockers. As far as the rubber... You could stuff 35"s with only a level but there isn't much flex to be had.

Tires on it now are 265/75R16 I believe. I'll be using the 2.5" level from Duane and I'll be keeping the stock wheels for now

Bigtman07 · Feb 23, 2011

ok You could go to a 315 75 16 if you are going to stock wheels. But that will fill in the wheel wells. If you look at my truck I have a 2.5 level and 265s

txbass06 · Feb 23, 2011

That's the size tire I'm going with. Flex won't be a big issue right now seeing as it's my DD. But I'm planning on more than a level in the next month or so. I just wanted to go ahead and get the tires on there if I could without any issues

Not a bad choice. I know for sure you can fit a 305 so 315 should slide in with no or little rub.

As you can tell by the tire, I don't plan on bouncing through a mud pit lol. I wanted a semi-aggressive A/T that wouldn't wear down in 10k from highway driving

Got them in a few minutes ago. Tire Rack really impressed me with their shipping speed. 2 tires from GA and 2 from IN to my doorstep in less than 22 hours

Ignore my finger in this one. Still gettin used to the new phone
