2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Question about 305's

[TKremer]

I want to run 305/70/R16. I have 285/75/R16 on 16x8 wheels now. If I get a 2" coil spring spacer or 2. 5" springs will the 305's rub when I turn and hit a bump? My grandpa has a farm and I take the truck off road (fields) a lot and I don't want to worry about rubbing. Can you guys post some pictures of your rigs with this setup?? Thanks for all your time and help!

I have them on mine they only rub every once and awhile

Is that with or without the lift

The 305/70R16 and 285/75R16 are the same height (nominal dimensions anyway). Of course, manufacturers vary...



The tire is a bit wider, so it could rub on the control arm when turning if mounted on a stock wheel, but I doubt you can hit anywhere else with a 2" lift. My 305/85R16's have never touched anything with 3" of lift and moderate 'wheeling mounted on a 16x8 rim with 1/2" less backspacing than stock.
