ALWVSN Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I was running 255/70-16 with 2" lift. They look tiny so I'm looking for bigger tires without giving me any drive train issues since I'm still running stock drive trains... I want to get 33's but I'm worried lol Any wheels and tire suggestion? Edited June 5, 2020 by ALWVSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elherbinator Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Damn, that sucks. Who the fuck steals wheels off a D2? What type of tires are you looking for? Street, mud, A/T? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I was running KO2's, it was a good tire but a bit loud on the pavement/freeway. Thinking of the Falken Wildpeak or Patagonias.

Mr.BlueSky Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Wow... this is just lame... Sorry to hear this. I haven't tried the Falkenpeaks - but I do like the Yokohama Geolander MT 285/75/R16. Currently the ones I have are too wide to tuck under the classic - hoping with some additional height adjustment I can get them to tuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in Santa Clara - I've got one on a wheel now - the others are at work (and wheel-less) but you are more than welcome to come by and we can zip it on.

ALWVSN Posted June 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Basically here's my note... Base on what a few people told me 285/75/16: even taller than 265/75-16, requires around 3" of lift. Very wide and requires trimming. consider upgrading to hd axles & getting lower gears. 255/85/16: a bit taller than 285/75-15 but narrower. consider upgrading to hd axles & getting lower gears.

foster Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 I really really like my Falken Wildpeaks. They're not great in snow, and the sidewalls seem to get cut up on rocks a bit, but I've never had them let me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted this photo and got my answer that it does not rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeWare Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Pls, if you're able to. I'll bring my jack etc lol... Let me know when's a good time for you before I order new tires.I think Miles has them on RRC wheels and you have a D2, so it won't help you much. The largest you can fit depends upon the brand and style of tire, but a 265/75 on standard D2 wheels may or may not rub on full lock, but will not rub arches on full articulation. For example, a BFG AT KO will not but a KO2 will (due to the side biters). Not enough to worry about though. A lift in itself will not help with arch rubbing, extended bump stops will. At full compression the axle will be in the same place whether you have longer springs or not. A 285 is going to rub on full lock, without wheel spacers (on standard wheels).

ALWVSN Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Base on the photo posted up there, he has the same wheels (Method 701 16x8 0 offset with 285/75-16) he's not rubbing. But he's running wildpeaks. Toyo contacted me and sending tires. I'll try it and see how it'll be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're running 0 offset then that is like a standard wheel with a 33mm spacer, so that should work for steering on full lock. Bear in mind that you don't get something for nothing. Bearing wear and ackerman angle will both be affected, although maybe not enough to concern you. Regards, Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure if I should keep this vehicle, I was planning on upgrading my truck but for now, I'll keep on adding until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALWVSN Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 The Toyos are free, so I'll take it for now. If not happy with it what other tires you recommend? I might ask for another set of 265 if they're willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
