315's with no level

EquipmentUser · 09-20-2009, 05:18 PM

Anyone have any pics of this setup? Can't decide between a 315/70 or a 285/75. I want good looks and good fuel mileage but I know I can't have both.

33's(305/65 or 285/75) look pretty good on unleveled 3rd gens, i prefer the extra width of the 305's myself but you limited to only a few tires in that size and only the BFG AT's in E load range.

315's are perfect on a leveled truck.

i run 315s and no rubbing except on the control arms at full lock. i have no leveling kit and stock wheels. and my mud flaps are still in. everyonce in a while in a turn and hitting a bump they will hit my flaps but it doesn't hurt anything. And my milaege went up on the highway. dropped about 400rpms.

Here's my '03, just put 315's on this weekend.
No leveling kit on right now but will be installing a 2" just for looks at this point as I haven't had any rubbing issues as of yet.

I had 315 with minor rub on lower control arm. I am switching to 285/75 because they look good and less wear on front end. Already did ball joints at 11000 miles with no towing,loads or off road.
