lift/tires

[farley610]

I am installing a 3 inch body lift and then going to sears to have them install four L26575S16D BF All Terrian KO. Think I could fit anything bigger?

those are metric tire measurements, usually for street tires

most light trucks run standard numbered tires, in ur case id run a 33x12.5r16

the first number has todo with the height of the tire
second number is the width of the tires
and third number is rim size

yeah thats what i thought, but I'm running 27s on my truck now and these new tires are bigger, im confused??

 

[mhughes165]

ya, there gonna be bigger, trucks ur year also came with 31's from the factory without rubbing, post up a pic of ur truck just so i can make sure, but im fairly positive they wont rub at all(the 33's that is)

265 is with in millimeters, 75 is % of the tyres with which is = to side wall height (for calculating total height this number X2 or use an online calculator) , 16 is rim height. Hope that clears it up for you, and by the way I am Canadian and I hate the metric system for tyres.

i just went out and measured my tires and they are like 28s

the tires your putting on are 31.6 inch tires. with the lift you could fit 33 inchers with out rubbing.

 

[farley610]

cool thanks man you guys have been a big help

and just so you know a 285/75/16 is about a 33'' tire if you stick with metric sizing (bfg doesnt make a 33x12.50 16) or you could also go with a 305/70/16which is also about 33'' but is wider than the 285.

i went with the 31.6s they look good, they cost a shit load, but i have a ton of room for flex and it still looks freaking sweet anyone know how to post pics?
