Hello everyone,
I posted this question in the tires section but I guess No One looks at it. My question is, what tire size would everyone recommend for a 16x7 (if I can find some) or 16x8 steel rim. I want to get some new skinny tires for overlanding ect.

 

How much lift? It's either going to be 235/85 or 255/85

 

Not sure. It's my wife's truck so I'm sure she wouldn't want something crazy. She could probably do an inch but I haven't asked her.

 

I run a Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx 245/75/16 on mine fits good. My usage is the same overlanding, mostly 4 to 7 days running mostly forest service roads a couple of times a year.

Here is what they look like on the Disco

 

If you want skinnies, 235/85 is probably the best bet. They're common, cheap and they're 31.7" tall. I would have gone that size if I could have found 16" wheels for cheap enough.

 

With a 32in tire I'd have to put a lift on right?

 

Not really. You may or may not scrub a little depending on suspension Sion sag among other variables, but you'll be fine. I ran 265/65r18s at stock height for a while, as have many others, with no rubbing at all.

 

235/85-16
