glad to be of service jon.

thou i do wish we could have balanced those big tires for you also. that would have finished it for you. a load balance would be needed and no shop near us has purchased that type of balancer yet. or has the ability to balance that size tire on thier current machines.

Charlie how is your back? I was just curious as to how large the tires were. Hope you weren't trying to lift them.

Vosko, how are they wearing for you? BFG recommends that those tires should be on a minimum of an 8-inch rim. Just curious and I assume you are running some kind of lift?

honestly dunno? i've only had the truck for 3k miles. i dont think its lifted but i could be wrong. i thought the aluminum wheels are 16x8 ? 2k of the 3k miles have been towing with no problem. the only thing the truck does right now is shake at exactly 55mph which is annoying

i did the math before i think the tires are 4" taller than stock, i could be wrong though

I have the same wheels as you and they are 16x7. I have considered going to that size tire and have heard varying comments about how they wear on a 7-inch wheel. The stock tires were right around 31.7 inches so you are within the 4-inches you thought. The truck looks great like that. Thanks for posting the pictures!!
