I went with the same tire in 315/75/16.I run a small spacer with no issue.The lugs are pretty short for such a big truck.So stay smallunless you want to change 2 longer ones.---------If you are rubbing you must be driving a tight circle.[sm=roll.gif]

Thanks for the pics, the attitude looks correct now, and the BFG's have been great tires on past rigs ive had.

Do you have the same or similar size tires as I do on stock rims?
If so can you give me some information on your spacer size and where you got them.

I want to keep my new tires mountedon my stock rims.
Would wheel spacers resolve this issue?
If so what is the minimum size and where do I purchase such an item?

What about the 295/75 r16? Do they have the same problem? Tks

Nice...... having a chat with a guy that posted this THREE YEARS AGO.

There is no "problem". You can make 305s and 315s rub when at full turning lock, but how often do you need to do that? Rubbing on the sway bar is no big deal.

Let's stick to the fresh threads from here out please.
