i just came across a good deal on a set of 285/75/16 MTRs. I have no lift and know some of you are running 265/75 without issues. Is it possible to run 285s with out issues or am i guraanteed rubing issues?

 

You will rub like a few fat girls jumped in your truck. You probably won't rub if you just drive straight, you should definitely try it!

 

if its really a good deal, you could get them and just save them until you do get a lift.

 

I agree get them and try it, worst case you sale them for a profit and then get some 265's

 

No way you won't rub with those....buy em and wait for a lift.

 

buy'em and wait for the lift-

 

buy them and give them to me!

 

damn, that's the tires I ultimately want to get. My 265/75s rub on my lower valence with a 2 1/2"-3" lift, but its not bad at all. I kinda thing on a 3rd gen runner you would rub with those, but not so terrible. Buy em and wait for the lift.

 

265s rub??? wow, maybe something is wrong.

 

They'll fit but you'll have to do some triming in the wheel arches. I'm in the process of doing that with my 35"s so they'll clear through the whole suspension cycle.

 

Macgyver do you have a website? I want to see some pics of your truck.

Have you seen my article on fitting 35's?

That article is great Sean, plan on doing it this spring-

 

Allen, Will you remove the body lift at that point? If you plan to keep it you won't need to cut nearly as much material but if you remove it and cut you can maintain a really low COG.

 

I bought my runner with 285/16 and absolutely no rubbing. go for it

 

You must be lifted or the prev. owner trimmed/banged the crap out of the wheel well...

 

He's got procomp wheels so they might have different backspacing causing them to rub a bit.

 

^^^ yup, i saw that too.

that sucks!

id get the 285's and use the money you saved to get a spacer lift and fit em now!
