Duroman comes riding in on this White Stallion, his hoofes at this time are wranglers with a print that is 285/75/16s and they can be smoken when feed from Hypertech which really agrees with him, was born a LLY in 2004. Has only 50k on him so the millage is still not very good here in Michigan he hasn't been out of the stall much do to the whether here.
Wanted to go to larger foot print so tried these 15/36R/16.5 on bought 2" spacers and Chevy to ford bolt pattern because of the wheels and tires that I had on hand they fit fine on these hoofs and looks so--soo BAD__________but....... they will not allow any turn when shoed to the front. Would appreciate any advise anyone would like to contribute to any of the subjects mentioned.
I have read some of the threads and found them helpful already. Thank you .....DUROMAN

 

interesting read there Duroman

i got my rims from Discount Tires. Alloy, $85 each. 8 bolt chevy pattern. well worth it. Wheel Details - Discount Tire

ran Michelin 28575/16. didn't like them. no grip

switched to Falken 305/70/16 load range E. these are great so far.

i think you need to purchase a set of rims that will fit your truck and support the tire size you are looking for first. when going with a bigger tire, tall or wide, cranking of the T-bars may be necessary and also timing of the front valance

 

There arent many tire companies making alot of 16.5s and the number is becoming less and less. I would go a diffrent direction.
