And here I though I was being completely Civil? Didnt mean to come across hostile. We dont all have to agree but there's no harm in both sides explaining their point of view.... afterall the decisions in neither of our hands really....
Its just there are three open threads on basically this same subject right now all going today and a sticky with one good informative comparision to stock ratios would have cleaned a lot of this guesswork up... less work for mods I would think?

i understand...i do. i just know that i am somewhat new to the forum thing...

i didnt know about searches and stickies and all that other stuff that forum people know...and you guys use acronyms like madmen...lol.

for a new guy...sometimes posting a thread can be a challenge and once posted can be something to be proud of...i know that sounds silly...but thats how i felt.

I have the same tires on my 94 1500 on stock rims with no problems, but I also have a 5.5" suspension lift. Sorry, probably doesn't help much.

ok, i had 265/75s similar to a 31x10.50, and i had no problems, now im running 33x12.50s with off road rims, and no rubbing AT ALL not even at full lock. that was stock, now that i have a leveling kit, i still have no problems.

Forums are addicting.....lol every birthday I'm reminded just how much as most automatically send an automated "happy birthday" email......and I'm reminded of how sad my life really is....lol
serioulsy though I love em You can learn sooo much....I even learned how to tear down my wv engine and rebuilt it the right way carbs and all from one....was a pretty good feeling....Home theater,autos, free tv, motorcycles, salt water fish tanks...you name it you can become an expert on them fast with the help of forums and a little common sense...

i joined iboats.com about 2 years ago. one of my customers GAVE me a POS boat that was probably trash. i got on the forum and spent a year and about a grand restoring the boat...when i finished...WOW...i couldnt believe it.

i sold that boat 2 months ago for 4000 dollars. gotta love the forums.

Not even rubbing the control arms? My 12.5" wide tires do on the off road wheels.

i wish i would have gotten the 265/75s instead of the 285/75s. i guess a different gear would make it ok though.
