i dunno.. the size he chose is a 32.2" inch tire.. thats a pretty stock size.

even my 24s with 33" tires is only a 2.4% taller tire

maybe the big gap in the wheel well is making them look smaller.. maybe you could lower the back end to level the truck out?

i dunno... it depends on how much 2.4% more is worth to ya to see if you wanna upgrade

 

it was worth it to me! it doesnt sound like much but that little 2.4% can make a big difference in the appearence dept. and a lil more ground clearance.

 

well its worth it to me too.. thats why i went 24s instead of 22s... but is it to HIM

 

take a pic of the side so we can see the entire truck if u could. i think it would help alot. plus im going to get the same tires either stock or 285s, so picks could help

 

Here are the side pics.. sorry it took awhile. I didnt realize until I went to post that the front wheels are turned. I will take a second picture with the wheels straight ASAP.

 

okay..lesson in tires.

Sknny tire give more traction than a fat tire, a smaller diameter tire gives you more traction than a larger diameter tire, model T and jeeps could go anywhere, more traction in a smaller contact area, once you increase diameter and widith, your creating more contact area that has more potential to lose traction.

a 265 to 285 is not that extream, but nothing wrong with a 265, GM trucks are running 245 diamter tires.

 

Hmmm, I'm not wanting to cause a debate here over anything, but on some parts here, I would disagree with you. If a skinny tire gives you more traction than a fat tire, why do dragsters, etc. run such a wide tire??? More contact patch so as not to slip. If you go offroading you would want a tire with a wide tread and a tall sidewall so if you air down you have a larger "footprint". I would rather have a larger tire as far as height and also width if I'm going to be doing any offroading. You need a larger contact path. Otherwise professional rockcrawlers/off road teams would be running bicycle tires if this was true. Again, not wanting to cause a debate, just my 2 cents.

 

Skinny tires work better for snow plowing/driving. Street and mud you can benefit from width.

 

To be honest with you, the more I see that picture they look smaller than 265's. Almost like a 245???? Oh, well. Sorry OP if you're not happy with 'em.

 

yeah they do look a little small, but no reason to be disappointed they are good tires
