285-75 R 16's on 16x7 rims?
Just wondering if anyone could direct me to a post or give me some info on mounting 285-75 R 16's on the stock 16x7 rims my 97 runner came with. I was thinking the rims might be too narrow. Thanks

your a arm articulates with the tire if you have at least 1/2" in between a arm and tire you'll be fine. 1/4" wheel spacers can be added to the front for extra assurace

I've got my 285/75's on stock rims with no rubbing, close but none. I have to drop the tire pressure to around 28-30psi to get a good even foot print and prevent the middle of the tread from wearing faster than the edges. I don't mind running the lower pressure on the road because it helps to count-act the stiffness of the OME's.

I've never aired down to 10 psi on stock rims...too chicken lol. I have been down to 15 through. Here's an upper a arm clearance pic with my 285's on stock 16x7 5 star rims.

was that the right move or could I have gone w 1/4" spacers. I dont want any rubbing, I do do alot of highway driving. what are your thoughts? thanks.
