Will Nitto 305/70/16E Fit?

[SpoonPig007]

I've searched on this, but can't find THE definitive answer...



Will Nitto 305/70/16's fit on an unlifted 02 QC 4wd SLT ?



If so, I will order... I have never mail ordered tires and am hesitant becuase they will be tough to "try out. . "



Thanks!

i believe that they will rub on your fenders a little... makin tight turns will be a little harder... may have to add a 2 in lift kit

Rub at full axle travel? Rub at steering lock on flat and level? I have a front end replacement that allows for more room in the front, but will the tires rub the back?



Anybody out there run these unlifted?

Just a little rubbing unlifted...

Only notice it manuevering in the parking lot. Gonna throw a set of springs on, more for the level look than the rubbing.

I noticed you have a Sport. Do they have the same front suspension as my SLT?

 

[RKohn]

No difference that I know of, other than you get a little more chrome. The front end should be the same.

They wont rub in the back. They will be okay in the front if you have a leveling kit. You still run around bellville.

Hey piglet, how do you get 6 horse out of that antenna. I can only gert 3.

Are you all running the 305's on stock rims?

Yup... still in the belleville area.



Ordered the 265's instead... decided to lift it eventually... next tires will be a tad bigger.



As far as the 6hp gain... you have to shave the antenna ball down aobut 3/16"... make sure it's balanced, otherwise you'll start a "death wobble" right around 95.

I'm running 305/70r16's on stock 8 inch rims. Truck is unlifted. No problem at all in back. I do get minor rubbing at full lock up front. I recommend them!

The only rubbing you will get is on the control arm at full lock. I will take a picture if you want to email me. Do it, you will be happy with the tires. If you want something with more of a highway tread go for the toyo open country A/T that is what i have. I was even informed by Les Schwab that the nitto and toyo share the same carcass.
