Need help choosing tire size.
1994 factory 16x7 with 5.5" backspacing for with the 285 A/T's (original wheels)
1996 factory 16x7 with 5.5" backspacing with the 285 M/T's (off a 2wd v6 truck)
both are the same mid 90's wheel http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.originalwheels.com/dodge-wheels/images/dodge-1500-wheels-2039-b.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.originalwheels.com/dodge-wheels/trucks1500rims-1996.php&usg=__1vYWGO2wHVZ6bcpeEylMB0hv7UI=&h=300& w=300&sz=41&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=17OnW5GSl1t 3IM:&tbnh=159&tbnw=159&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dstock%2B1994%2Bdodge%2B1500%2Btruck%2 Bwheels%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US

I rode in a friends truck with 265/75/R16's on factory 5 spoke alloy wheels and they rubbed near full lock.

I've got a 4x4 1500 sport. I am running 305 70 16s and only rub at full lock.
I havent towed with these. I towed with my 285 70 17s without a problem... 8k lbs 300 miles each way up and down hill..
