Anyone with 265/75-16 on a 2wd and pics??
I am looking at a set of 265/75-16 to put on my 2000 2wd S/C.The truck came with 255/70-16.I am aware of the diff in dia and width and was wondering if anyone could help me out with a couple of questions..
Any rubbing?
Any difference in speedo reading?
Any problems with the ABS?
Any decrease in MPG?
Anyone have pictures?
Thanks

I had the same setup you have on yours. I got the 4x4 wheels (17 inchers) and the tires you want cept I got the 17 inch wheels so I got about an inch more on you.
Rubbing-
Only when you turn as much as the truck will turn, which is never needed much so dont worry.
Speedo rating-
yes, when it says i am going 35 i am actually going 38. when i am going between 60 and 65 i am acutally pushing 75, but it is worth it. it also makes your odometer off, so you can resell the truck with only 55,000 miles when it has 62,000 on it really.
ABS-
i am not sure if this is what caused it but i no longer have a fully functioning ABS system on my truck.
MPG-
sure there should be some, only small amount though.
Pictures-
yes http://www.my-f150.com/waldo0506/
big pictures from about every angle, personally i would rather have the setup i have now than the one i once had, all of this sounds like it isnt worth it but i am exremely happy. rememver i will have one more inch of wheel than you have so your losses and gains will be nothing. i would even say you probably wont have any rub, you will keep your ABS, and the speedo wont be off too much, when u are going 35 u will probably be goin 36. hope that helps, if the pics dont show email me waldowhite@msn.com and i can send some
