265x75's in place of the 245 spare

[Forrest]

Has anyone changed over to the 265's & put one on the spare? Wondering if it clears everything ok.





Thanks





Oh, with rear sway bar & Mag-Hytek.

not sure about it but I'm thinking of changing to that tire next time, what it the width and highth difference and what it a 420hp plate(what number of TST) I'm wondering what the options are in HP range for a change after the DTT treatment, I might change Injectors but I will for sure change the Turbo, sorry for the subject change.

My previous truck was a 96 gasser 1/2 ton ex cab 4x4 and it came stock with 265 X 75 X 16s on it and I did not have any problem with it clearing anything. However I did not have the rear stabalizer on it nor had I changed out the rear diff cover. Different vehicle I know but since it was an option on those trucks it should be fine. Maybe a call to a dealer could confirm it.

Jim,



I'm going thru the old bookmarks. Here is one for the Tirerack:

It has the tire diameters on it.



Pls e-mail me about the plate so we can stay on topic.





Thanks

I have a 97 with 285-75-R16 on the spare and it fits without a problem

A 255/85R16, ~33" OD, fits between the frame rails properly. My buddy's 295/75R16 BFG AT KO will not fit - too tall to seat properly on the frame rails.

265x75's in place of 245 spare

Worked great on my buddys 94 regular cab

No problems putting the 265 in place of the 245 for the spare

It fit perfect. Go for it!

Thanks for all the great support. Looks like it's a go.



By the way, found some good prices on Michelins. You got any other links?
