Tire size

[bobwest]

Does anyone know what the biggest size tires you can put on a stock height 86 d100 is? The tires that are in it now make it look like a fat kid with chicken legs

I'm riding on 33/12.50 on 17" rims with a stock height w250, I'm sure you can fit alil smaller than that, Mine rubs when taking sharp right turns though

hahahaha you would never get 33's on a d100 unless you install a body lift on top of a suspension lift. you might be lucky to squeeze 31's under the front if you got new coils that lift the front to stock height. might be able to put 30's on the front with saggy stock front coils. the back you could run 31's easily but having 2 different size tires can sometime look strange.

265 series is around 30 1/4", IIRC. Will definitely fit, give it a better stance (your factory size was probably a 235/75/15 - mine was), without doing any work, or overstressing your ball joints, suspension, or driveline angles.

I have 31x10.50x15 on my truck and I lowered the rear end and I have no rub at all it has tons of room and I have worn out springs in the front I'm about to put a body lift with 33s in a week or two

I just installed 33s on a stock 88 d100 with drop shackles in the back lowering it 3 inchs with minimal rubbing

And what - precisely - is the ACCEPTABLE amount of, tire "rubbing?"

I would run 32's with an un-LIFTED Gen.1. I wouldn't LOWER one for any reason, and I surely wouldn't go 33's on one that has been lowered. That's a disaster waiting to happen.

i can tell you those tires would rub a lot with the way i drive my truck.

 

[Slamminwagon]

The only rubbing I have is when I hit a bump it rubs on the front part of the fender which I solved with a angle grinder

 

[crazzywolfie]

like i said. they would rub a lot with the way i drive and what i do


i also occasionally haul some heavy 2000+lb loads
