Tire question

[Sandman]

Could i clear 295/75R16 on a stock rim with just a TB crank?

Thanks.

Should be able to no problems. May have to trim the valence if anything.

I would also agree with Hick... May have to trim the valance but that should be about all.

What about 305/70R16 Nitto Terra Grpplers (32.68x12.40) on a stock rim (for now)?? they arent as tall as the 295/75's but they are wider. or 285/75R16 (32.76x11.42)? thanks for the help, i am gonna be buying new tires soon but am having such a hard time deciding on what kind and size. i dont wanna do much lift just a tb crank and maybe some 2 inch blocks in the rear so i wanna go as big as i can without rubbing or much triming.

On stock rims you should be able to fit any of them them with just a little TB crank and minor trimming on valvance. I would leave the back stock until you get the tires on and see how it sits.

thats with no rubbing even at full lock? i dont care about trimming the valance, its gay anyways lol.

dirtridinz71 that rap on you truck is so dope, i love it.

ok i decided on some new tires, gonna ghet som Toyo Open Country M/T's, but should i get 285/75R16 or 305/75R16? Would there be much of a difference in performance or gas milage between those two?

either one should be about the same. the 305s are a little wider so i would go with the 285s.
