Choosing tires..

Hey all, I just bought a 2000 f350 7.3 from a friend on mine. Its got a 4 inch lift and currently has 35x14.50x16 mud grapplers on 16x12 rims. I love the tires, but they need replacing an nitto no longer makes them in that size and plus I do alot of highway driving. there doesnt seem to be many options for wider 35s than 12.50 for a 16 inch rim.

how would a 315/75/16 look on a 12inch wide rim? i dont like gong to a skinnier tire but i will if it doesnt look terrible and is doable.

anyone know of a wide 35 for a 16 inch rim?

I really like these rims and dont want to have to buy new ones.
OR if you know of anyone who has some 35x14.50x16 there trying to sell or shop that still has some left over, let me know.

Thanks!!

If you can find a tire shop who would be willing to mount them, they would look goofy.

BFG makes the M/T in a 365/75R16 and recommends it for 9.5"-12" wide rims.

Or there is the Super Swamper Trxus STS A/T which is available in a 36/14.50R-16.

Please put up some pics when you do get new skins!

Even the 315 75 16 that BFG and others carry is only about 12.5 wide....your only option is really Super Swamper tires. We carry the following styles/sizes of theirs:

SSR-35x14.5x16
TRXUS STS-36x14.5x16
TSL Bogger-35x14.5x16
TSL Radial-36x14.5x16

I can get you some prices on them if you want? The 35" TSL Bogger is the most popular of those for us, but a Bogger tire probably won't help your highway driving much lol.

That's pretty much it though as far as 35" tires on 16" rims wider than 12.5....
