Who out there is running LT285/75 R16 tires on stock rims? I only ask because I still have the tiny stockwheels and tires(LT245/75 R16s) and would like to go up to LT285/75 R16s.If I could run the 285s without having to buy new wheels, it would sure save some money. The truck is a 1999 Ram 2500 Quad Cab with 8' Bed and a 360. A big truck with tiny tires. Hopefully I can change that.

 

heck yeah throw you some 285/75/16s on there,you will have no problem,thats what i have on stock rims,ive seen some on here with 305/70/16s on stock rims

 

Ya, those will fit with no issues. Here are some pics of a stock height '99 2500 quad cab 8ft bed with 285/75/16's, no rubbing except on the aftermarket mud flap at almost full lock.

I have LT285/70/16's running on stock rims and I dont have any wheel rub even at full lock as well. Go ahead and treat yourself to some new tires.

 

Mopar Crazy, nice truck I like it a lot !

How much did performance, and mpg decrease when going to to those 285's? Im in the same boat but 265's now with 3.55's and a 5.9, I see on here that mpg goes south as well as finding OD with city driving....

Heres what I want to put on mine.....

their under the 285/75/16 on the bottom of page 4, the Dayton Timberline M/T's

 

285's on my 1500. No problem and I really don't notice a difference in the way it runs and drives..

Here are 285s on my Ram. Stock rims (5" of lift in this picture though) They only rub on the control arms at full lock turn.

 

Thanks for the information everybody! I think I'm going to get me a new set of 285's! I can't wait! I'll post some pictures of her when she's got some new rubber.

 

Can I really fit 305/70/R16s on my stock rims? that would be sweet...

 

i've got 305/70/16 on stock rims with stock height and they clear fine. only rub on the control arms at full lock when hitting a bump or dip.
