tires 285/75R16

I just put some 16" rims and 285/75R16's all around on my 93 bronco and I love it. The tires are Wild Country TXR's and measure 32.8" in dia. and are 11.2" wide. The only thing I had to do was remove the inside corners of the air dam under the front bumper. I do not have any suspension mods, but i'm planning on a 3" Rancho just for a little articulation. Just puttin out the word this tire and wheel combo is the best I have had.
The truck before had 15x8 wheels and 32X11.50R15 TXR's these are a true 32" tire with a width of 11.4" this combo rubbed a little on the driver side radius arm...0.2 diff makes it work. Constructive criticism works so try it out.

Y'all have a good weekend.
Mike

What did the change cost? Does your Bronco now have better road manners or would you consider street drivability the same?

I would like to see some pics! I just put 32x11.50 on my truck, I like them, but I would like to see what 16 inch rims look like.

tires 285/75R16

as soon as my new camra gets here pics will be posted. she handels about the same but is much smother at speed (65-80mph). I just got 16mpg on the first tank with the new tires (was 16.4 before). They look Killer. Cost was about $1100.00 total. It does take an extra couple of feet to stop the damn thing but that is how it goes with a bigger tire. I will be putting on the stainless brake lines ASAP for a little better feel ( it was bab before the new setup). The next mod is a modest lift 3-4 inches, I looked at the Rancho Kit that says 3 1/2 inches, but the service and quality of everything I have done at Les schwab makes me leen twards the Tuff County 4" performance suspention w/radius arms. I have been told that the Tuff Country Kit is only good for looks and pavement driving but i'm not a stump jumper so what the hell it looks good and a friend of mine has the same kit and it will jump a stump.
After the lift a 396 stroker with the lightning mass air!
