HELP....what's the biggest size?

[Tracie Gonzales]

I have a 01 ST 4x4. I am wanting to put 16x8 rims on my truck. Can anyone tell me what the tallest tire is that will fit on my truck without doing any modifications? [email protected]



Thanks!

32", or a 265/75-16. If you turn the torsion bars up in front, it's not hard to do, then 33" or a 285/75-16 will fit. Try to get rims with a 4" to 4.25" backspace. A lot of 16x8's have 4.5" backspace and may rub a little on the inside, although a 265 wouldn't be as bad as a 285.

I put 265/75R16 like BPOCHE. I have a two wheel drive w/ TT and no Shackles I have very slight rubbing on the back tires when corning fast. Besides that I love the new beef'er look of the S/T. The pictures in library doesn't do the tires justice...looks much better in person! I would try the HUB CAP STORE on TIMBERLAND DR. in Lufkin if I was you. I got some good deals on some alloy rims there for my Ford Ranger maybe you will have the same luck!

I have 285/75/16's on mine And just a few rubbing isues.

285/75/16 = 33? Please don't dogpile me, but I thought the 33 with the 16's would be a 305/75/16. I was just looking at 33's with keeping my 16x9 stock rims on my Jeep. Stock on my old ST, the 265/75/16 fit like a glove and looked SWEET!

Thanks for everyone's thoughts here. We still are not sure what we are going to do. We do know we are going to change from stock rims. We are now looking at some American Racing Baja's 16x8...but still looking around, not 100% positive yet.



If anyone else has a thought here, feel free to continue to let me know!!



Thanks y'all!!
