3" BL and 275's

[Duvie91]

Would a 3" BL and LT275/65's look weird? I cant say that I have ever seen a truck setup that way. The reason I'm asking is because I recently just got new tires on my 96 ecsb and am now thinking about a body lift but dont wanna get into it if the tires are gonna look way too small.

IF you think they would look too small go with a 2" BL instead. How big are 275/65's btw?

If I remember right they are right at a 32 if not a little more than 32"

it would look silly. go with 33's or 35's... I had 275's with a 2'' block and crank and it was embarrassing

35's made it look hella good.

275/65-16? If so thats a 30" tire, 3" bl would be to much for such a small tire, im runnin 285/75 which is right at a 33 with no lift at all

every 285 tire ive had measured quite a bit shorter than 33'' and 305s are slightly over.

Overall diameter is 32.8, basically the exact same height as the overall diameter of a 33, id get an exact measurement if my wife hadnt taken off in the yukon today

It would also depend on if you measured a 285/70 or 285/75 or 305/70 or 305/75, a 70 is shorter than a 75

285/75 bfg is quite a bit shorter than a 33/12.50 bfg, and a 305/70 duratrac is taller. actual sizes vary from whats stated on the sidewall.

They do very which is why i would get an exact measurement of my tires if my truck was here, but according to the tire size converter a 285/70 is 31.7ish, 285/75 and 305/70 are both 32.8ish and 305/75 is 34ish, my 35s on the 96 only measured out to 34"

I have 285/75 on a 3" BL and they are just big enough. Any smaller and I'd say block and crank or no lift at all
