 Subject: BFG size question
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 2001 QC with 4x4 and factory lift and 16" rims.
I figure I can get 32" BFGs in there with a tiny bit of rubbing (please correct me if I am wrong here!)
Problem is, I know I need 32"x11.5 or 32"x12.5, but all of the tire stores stock them with sidewall markings (ie 285/75 ) making it hard for me to understand (since I have always been a little slow when it come to tires.)
Has anybody had experience with this and can tell me exactly what I need (or want, as my wife would point out), not to mention a great place to get these tires cheap?
How about the Dunlops? Any experience here?
I just want to fill these wells out and give the truck a more menacing appearance.
Thank you,
Ayrow

BIGGEST YOU CAN GO IS P275/70R16 WITHOUT A LIFT.
I HAVE THEM AND THEY DON'T RUB AT ALL.

Are you sure Cottondak?
I was told that 285/75R16s would fit with a tad bit of rubbing.
Anybody else know for sure???

I DO have the 285/75/R16 's on my stock 99 CC. My suggestion is that if you don't want to do any "trimming" go with the 275's (32"). I had to trim a couple of inches infront of the tire and behind it a bit....not a big deal though. It depends what you want, I LOVE my tires and the look the 285's (33") give.
Does this help????

Thanks.

I don't have a digital camera and I am waiting to finish the roll of film for my reg. camera. When I do get pics I will be sure to post that I have them - a couple of people have asked....
