Message:
Does anyone know of any tires that come close to this size designation? The closest I can find are 265x75x16 which are almost 32" tall but barely 10.5" wide. Or 275x70x16 which are barely over 31" and about 11" wide. Next size up you are running 33's. I want to put the 3" Rancho on when it comes out (this fall, hopefully), and I only want 32" tires to keep street performance. Plus I think 32's will 'wheel better than 33's if you only have 3" of lift. I don't think the Rancho lift is designed for 33x12.5. So I want 32x11.5 but can't find anything close.

I forgot to mention I'm looking for all-terrain tires, not mudders. I know you can get swampers in this size. But nobody like Goodyear, BFG or Procomp make AT's in this size. Thanks.

I think 265x75x16 are your only option if you want to go with 32's. I just put a 3" body lift on my 01 QC and am thinking of going with the 265x75x16 or 285x75x16. The 285's are almost 33's but they are almost 11.5" wide to. BFG, and Goodyear make 285's.

Just FYI, the Rancho lift is made for 33's. Every review/install I have read on it, 33x12.50's are what was used. My 33's do fine off road with my 3 inch body lift. Ran 33's on all my other trucks with no lift (Fullsize F150 4x4's) and they did fine as well. 285x75x16's are closer to a 32x11.50 than anything else. In between a 32 and a 33 in height, but not quite a 33.

Thanks for the tip. I was hoping 33's fit w/ 3" of lift and minimal trimming or cranking of the torsion bars. Maybe I'll go w/ the 285x75x16. Just got me wondering when I hear about the guy w/ the 6 1/2" junkin' suspension and 33s still rubbing on that. I wouldn't think an alignment problem would take up 3 1/2" of lift.
How bad did the 33's affect your performance/mileage? I just ordered my QC 4x4 last week w/ 5.9 and 3.92 LSD.

Hawkeye- do you have any links or copies of the reviews/installs on the 3" Rancho? Please post or email me if you can. Thanks

All the install/reviews I read on it were in magazines back in early 2000. Cant remember right off the top of my head which issues. The reason the guy with the 6.5 lift had rubbing was because he was using 10 inch wide rims instead of 8's. The 285x75's would look and perform fine as well. Still get about 16 mpg with mine.
