What Fits?

305s atleast

My truck? 315's on 16x8's and trim a little bit of plastic...

I'm not going any bigger than a 305. Will they fit my truck on 16x10s without anything more than trimming the lower bumper valance? I don't have a body lift.

x10 will be harder to clear the tires. The gay mud guards have to go because tire will chew them up for lunch. 305 on x8's with 4.5" of BS

'bout time someone dogs on my mud flaps:gayfight: I figured I'd catch flack immediately when I posted pics of my truck. Surprisingly, it took a while.:rofl2: I bet my rockers are in better shape than yours and my truck stays clean a little longer. Oh well, I'm an old guy compared to most of you anyway. I can take the heat for my "grandpa" mudflaps.

Where do you measure a rim for the width? Is it from edge to edge or from bead to bead?

width= bead to bead seat. backspacing is bead to back mating surface on wheel.

305 on 8 inch will clear with some trimming. Good luck.

I think what that I'm hearing is that I should stay away from 10" rims. The 305s are fine as long as I go with 8" rims.

Yessir :rocking:

Now, with that all figured out..... What would look better with my lift on 16x8s? 285s or 305s? I'm looking at Helo Maxx 6 rims with Revos or Dick Cepek F-C IIs. The Revos only come in 285s. Is the F-C II a little too agressive looking for my truck with that wheel?

I had Revo's on my '94 (bought it with them), they were about 1/2 tread, I loved them, did awesome in the snow and sand, didn't play too much in mud with them but the little I did do, I didn't get stuck, I'd highly recommend them.....after I put my 285's on, I gave them to dad to put on his 2wd Dodge, and he's still running them a year later, great tread wear

305s in my opinion. I had them on my 99 and had no problems.

id do 305s on stockers i like the tires to set under the truck..

That's another reason I prefer a 16x8.

Definitely get a 305! 285's fit on stock trucks easily and avys too... it would look way too small under there IMO. With only 3" body lifts I have seen 35's on x10 wheels and 37's on stock wheels... im just pointing out that a 285 is too small IMO... anways, a 305 on a 8" wheel will fit the best and look very proportionate...oh and are those the only two tires you are considering?

Unless you can point me to something I like better. This truck is street driven 99% of the time. Therefore, I'm looking for an all-terrain tire that has a little more aggressive look. Got some ideas?
