Im thinking of putting a 255/85/16 on my pickup, does anybody out there have any pics or advice for a 33 inch tire?

285-75-16 Goodyear Dura Tracs. 33" tall, 2" leveling on the front. Tires rub on the rear part of the front fenderwell when there is suspension compression. Going to add a 3" body lift:

33x12.50x16.5 and what i believe no lift, factory 6in blocks and 7 leaf spring pacs all around, it will rub a little in a hard turn and in a touque.

285/75R16's on stock rims, suspension all factory, the only time it rubs is because i have a fender flare that is loose (not from the tire rubbing on it, just cause my fender is rusting out on the driver side)

These are 255/85r16 bfg mud terrains

and these are 305/70r16 Firestones on 16x10`s

If you notice, the flares are off, because the 305`s/saggy srping combo was causing enough rubbing to start damaging the front portion of the wheel opening when turning into a driveway, they rubbed pretty good. without the flares no rub but I`d like to get it level one day.

Thats the best pic of the important fender i have right now... They are 285/75/17 MT ATZ's. The only thing that rubbed was the small tit that comes off of the flare from the factory.. i cut them off because you cant even see them from the side of the truck..

I'm running 285/75/16 (33 inch tall) on my mess with 7 inch wide wheels. All stock with original sagged springs. No rubbing anywhere.

YAll have some nice trucks out there, how do you think it would affect mileage?

I'm getting about 16.5, mostly in town and gravel road driving.

I get between 20 and 20.9 on mine, but I drive softer than anyone I know. I suspect there might be cobwebs in my turbo no more often than I build any boost.

I have 285's on mine too and they don't rub at all but they're worn out. I also want to go with 255's but think my 9" wide rims might be too wide for 255's.

 

[lopez dodge]

i run 255's on mine they never rub but i also had the springs re arched in front . planning on going to 315's . sorry no picks. as for milage average about 18-20 a tank commuting with a heavy foot.

do you have a lift on that truck?

Not really, it has a re-arch and an add a leaf in front. It sat a good 1-2 inches higher when I 1st bought it 20k miles ago but it IS time for new springs...too bad they arnt free :rof

When I had 33's on my 1st gen W350 I was averaged 21mpg unloaded or loaded...
