2" leveling kit now time for tires!
So it finally wore out the old 265's on my truck and am looking for new tires. I have been told 285-75-16 is the largest that will fit the truck with stock wheels. Is there a 295 tire out there that will fit the stock wheel? I just think i could fit a little bigger tire than a 285 but thats why i am posting this. any help would be great!:U:

285 will look good on your truck. my uncle has an 05 d-max cclb 3'' lift and 17'' rims and he runs 285 on his and they look good.
|
anybody else?
|
i have 285/75/r16 with after market wheels and i fit them with my cv's flat. only thing it rubs is the fender flare, but they were torn up and out of place to begin with.
there is a little trimming involved with a sawzall, but you can even fit 35's with the stock pyo wheels |
thanks I like the look of my factory wheels. The only problem is how skinny they are I don tunderstand why chevy made them so narrow?
|
cause chevy wanted u to run factory size tires on them
|
well I guess that makes sense. Do you know what the next size up from a 285 is?
|
285 is just the width of the tire in mm
next would be 295 |
i guess i need to go with a tire that is 285-?-16 so that it would be the same width as a 285-75 but would be taller?

Section Width Following the letter(s) that identify the type of vehicle and/or type of service for which the tire was designed, the three-digit numeric portion identifies the tire's "Section Width" (cross section) in millimeters. P225/50R16 91S Sidewall Aspect RatioThe 225 indicates this tire is 225 millimeters across from the widest point of its outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner sidewall when mounted and measured on a specified width wheel. This measurement is also referred to as the tire's section width. Because many people think of measurements in inches, the 225mm can be converted to inches by dividing the section width in millimeters by 25.4 (the number of millimeters per inch). 225mm / 25.4 = 8.86" Typically following the three digits identifying the tire's Section Width in millimeters is a two-digit number that identifies the tire's profile or aspect ratio. P225/50R16 91S Internal ConstructionThe 50 indicates that this tire size's sidewall height (from rim to tread) is 50% of its section width. The measurement is the tire's section height, and also referred to as the tire's series, profile or aspect ratio. The higher the number, the taller the sidewall; the lower the number, the lower the sidewall. We know that this tire size's section width is 225mm and that its section height is 50% of 225mm. By converting the 225mm to inches (225 / 25.4 = 8.86") and multiplying it by 50% (.50) we confirm that this tire size results in a tire section height of 4.43". If this tire were a P225/70R16 size, our calculation would confirm that the size would result in a section height of 6.20", approximately a 1.8-inch taller sidewall. A letter (R in this case) that identifies the tire's internal construction follows the two digits used to identify the aspect ratio. P225/50R16, P225/50ZR16
The R in the P225/50R16 91S size identifies that the tire has a Radial construction in which the tire's body plies "radiate" out from the imaginary center of the wheel. Radial tires are by far the most popular type of tire today representing over 98% of all tires sold. If the R in the size was replaced with a D (225/50D16), it would identify that the internal tire body plies crisscross on a Diagonal and that the tire has a "bias ply" construction. Tires using this construction are for light truck and spare tire applications. If the R in the size was replaced with a B (225/50B16), it would identify that the tire body plies not only crisscross the tire on a diagonal as before, but that they are reinforced with belts under the tread area. This type of tire construction is called "Belted." Tires using this construction are practically extinct. Tire Tech Information - Tire Size Guide |
