You mean you have a sport. Period. The "off-road" trucks came with 17x8" wheels only. And many other sweet features. (search the topic--many, many threads on this). The sports came with color matched bumpers and grilles and 'sport' stickers on the hood. That's it.

 

+1 for what Ramman18 stated.

Not if you build up/upgrade some of the other parts to compensate.

 

So will a 285/75/16 fit on a stock 16x7 wheel? I'm tire shopping agin.

 

Yes, they will fit.

Why are you wasting money on new tires? Your tires are barely touched.

 

I'm looking to store my good wheels away for the winter. There is around 5k on the tires that are on there now. Plus I for a set of mudder on cr for cheap. http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/pts/1369770381.html Or a set of toyo m/t. Or the kumho m/t.

 

285 70 16 will fit on a stock 4x4.
my sisters truck has stock rims and that size (bridgestone dueler). they only rub the control arms in full lock.
i used to have 285 70 17 on my off road edition rims and they never rubbed. i'm waiting on fed ex to get in gear and get my new tires to me that are that same size and i'm not worried about rubbing.
if you don't want them to rub at all then get 70 instead of 75 for the height.
285 70 17 measures 32.8" when the tread is brand new.

 

I have a 3" lift I'm not worry about rubbing.

 

I got the rims off of a friend but around here about 6 months ago I went to this place around here called Truck Stuff & More to look for rims. They gave me two options, chrome for I forget how much and black (I forget what they were made out of) were under $100 per rim.

You'll use more fuel with larger tires no matter what you do.

 

what about regearing? the easier it is for the engine to get the truck up to speed and maintain that speed, the better the mileage will be.
