I currently have a 3" BL and cranked torsion bars on my '04 with 265/75/16's. Obviously, this is WAY too small of a tire, as it looks REEEEE-TART-ED!
But my question here is not should I get bigger tires or not, as I am going bigger no matter what opinions you may have (haha). My question is what is the REAL difference in a 285/75/16 and a 305/70/16?!
I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH!...
but one calculator will tell me that the 305 is taller AND wider, the next will tell me that the 285 is like .1 inches taller and the 305 is wider, and then another one will say that they are the exact same size... my goal here is to get as close to a true 33" tire as I can WITHOUT changing my rim size to one that's tires are measured in inches (15, 17+). Can someone please tell me the true difference, and which one is actually closest to a 33?
Thanks in advance!
