i just put 255/85/16 on my 97 crew. 32.5 tall,9.5 wide fills out the wheel well with out being too wide. wide not so good in snow country

 

Bfife,

Welcome to the forum. It appears this is your first post.

I lurked for weeks. How about you?

Wide is good for sand, but I drive on paved roads 100% of the time.

 

I am running LT235/85R16 Load Range E
2- BFGoodrich Commercial T/A All Season on the front
4- BFGoodrich Commercial T/A Traction Mud&Snow on the rear.
The road noise from the rear is very low.

 

My 95 has 285/75/R16's...looks good, stock and ready to go. I will be adding a leveler kit however to put on two sizes biger.!! with fender shims of course ;-)

 

What do you guys use for the shim material? Do you have to take the bumper completely off, or can you use u-shaped shims and just loosen it enough to install them?

My 285/75/16s are rubbing on my 97 PSD CC F250

 

You can use flat washers or take a piece of iron pipe the correct size and cut as many shims as you need.

U shaped shims would also work but I would be concerned with them shifting when you have them stacked an inch or so under a bolt.
