Hey, rmagers, are those the 315/75/16 BFG's on the stock 16x7 rims? How does that combo work? Any problems with rubbing or anything? I want to run the same combo on my 1999 when I get 3" more lift. Truck looks good.

The tires should be on 8 inch rims at the minimum. The 7 inch rims pinch the tires in, so the middle will wear quicker. I'm hoping to get rims in the next few weeks. A guy that works at the tire shop said to air them down till they are not bulging and that should be fine for a few weeks. The only rubbing i'm seeing is at the bottom corner of the air dam. I may try to move the bumper up a little or just trim the valance a little.

My compliments! Very classy looking truck. It's easy to get carried away with mods
but in my opinion the KISS rule need be applied (Keep It Simple Stupid)
with these trucks. The trucks stand out on their own.

WOW, Nice truck.

Good job, been thinking of doing the same.
debating on 285, 305, or the 315 like you.
How far do they stick out?
( I have the factory flares also)
If you take some more pics can I see some from the rear to see?
You can email me pics also if ya want.

The 315's don't stick out at all. West Virginia is real nasty about tires sticking out. Most cops will ticket you on the spot for tires outside the fender wells. And we have to have a Modified Inspection for lifted trucks. The tires have to sit under the truck unless you have fender flares. I'll try to take a pic from the rear.
