So it looks like most guys with BFG's are running 265/75 with the 2in or 3in lift. I have talked with/emailed 2 guys that are running the 285/75 and you will have a little rub upon full turn but it can be done. With the stock back set on 16x8 the 285/75's don't look to bad, but I am I wondering if with the custom wheels I am getting if they will stick out too far and look funny.

I am going to start a new thread just to ask if anyone is running the 255/85/16 and see what it would look like on a D2.


Thanks guys-

 

may i suggest that you consider new ring and pinion gear set with lower gearing to accomodate the increase tire size and provide you with ample torque off off anf off the line on the street (assuming you have not done so as yet)

 

Yes you may.

CDL, lockers, and gearing is planned for next spring. I started a business just about the same time I got this LR and so the plan to have it done has been stretched out a little further than I wanted it to.

After much deliberation I think I am just going to run the 265/75/R16 BFG MT's "like everyone else", as it will be easier on the truck, yield better mileage, and will not take any trimming with a 3in lift and the 4in backset rims. I would like to go with the 285/75 but from what over 50% of people I have talked to said it would be really hard on the truck, horrible gas mileage, and would have to do some real trimming.

Thanks for everything guys.
