Anybody have pics of theyre truck with 255/85r16s? Particularly interested in stock height 78/79 f250s and 350s.

 

 

Thanks for the response. Your truck looks nice. I am asking for a lot haha, 255s aren't very common. I've searched all over looking for stock height trucks with them and only found one. I ordered some tonight so I guess I'll find out in person soon.

 

Thanks, this is during my NP205 rebuild over the summer. Before that it was busy hauling all spring so the rest of my rim pictures are all squatted down. I think yours will look fairly close to this.

What kind of wheels are you putting them on?

 

My truck sits stock with 235/85 16 which is another odd size. I cant find a decent pair now. The tires on there are all recaps and i know i need all 4 since theyre about 10 years old and ones got a 3 inch long split on the sidewall

 

Here are some 255 85 16 I put on last winter. There is a lift on the truck though.

 

Type your tire size into discount tire. They have lots of them.

 

That looks nice too! I like the tall skinny highboy look. I'll probably run some 90s Ford steel wheels or some white spoke wheels I've got sitting around. I want good load capacity on this truck. I have another 78 with 315/75s and nice wheels on it.

As for the 235s I think Coopermakes them in the ST Maxx. I like the Maxx's a lot too. I have two trucks with them. On one set I've put a good 55,000 miles on and theyre still about 1/3 tread left.

 

Thanks! The highboy look was what I was after. What brand did you end up goIng with?

 

Dick Cepek extreme terrains. 4wheelparts has a decent sale on them at the moment.

 

Here's another one. Stock height '79 F350 Dunlop Mud Rovers (older vintage) on 16" factory GM truck wheels.

 

That is the look I'm hoping for. Are those 255s?

 

235/85r16 odd? Tirerack has 44 options. They have 3 options for 255/85r16

 

There's nothing odd about a 235/85-16. Quick search on tire rack still shows 44 different styles offered in that size.

 

I just ordered these for my 59.

But don't have them yet. Local tire shops had 2-3 options but the cheapest was going to cost $300 more than the Cepeks. I think that was Maxis and Toyos or BFG a LOT more.
255s should be around 33" tall
