Pics of 33x12.5
Anyone have pics of 305/70/16 (33x12.5) tires on their truck, preferably on 16x8 inch rims? I was considering this size on some 16x8s that I already have. The truck is a 2000 F150 4x4 and is stock suspension wise. Suggestiosn are appreciated. Thanks.

I have stock suspension on my 2000. Have not touched the torsion bars either. These are 10" rims. I went from stock 17's to 16" Eagle Alloy's. Tires are 305 BFG AT's. The back may look lower, but that is from uneven ground. I am really debating on cranking on the torsion bars. If I do, I will not raise the front more than 1", and may add a leaf in the back.

Beautiful truck!
I thought the 305s were closer to a 35 with the 285s being closer to a 33? I don't know for sure, so no flames, please, but that is what I thought... |
The stance on that truck looks real good. Do you guys think I would be ok with 305s on an 8" rim? It's listed as the minimum width for tires of that width. Or should I just stick with a 285 or 295. Anyone run 305s on 8" rims?

I think some folks have run 305's on the stock 7.5" wheel. I doubt you will have any problems at all with the 8". Wandell will chime in with correct info. He helped me a bunch. I had to do some minor plastic valence trimming up front, which was a breeze and looks stock. I do not know if it will be needed with 8" rims. I had very minor rubbing from the outer edge of the wheel on a sharp turn. Easy fix and worth it. here is a back view:

305/70-16's are essentially a 33x12.50 tire while a 285/75-16 is basically a 33x11.50 tire. Either will fit your stock 4x4 using 16x8's or 16x10's. You will have to trim the front bumper's valance slightly if you use a 16x10 wheel. You may or may not have to trim with 16x8's, depending on the wheels backspacing.
|
Thanks for the info guys. Wandell, the backspacing on my 16x8 rims is 4.5 inches, so how do you think they would work with the 305/70/16 tires?
|
You will be fine. Just about every tire manufacturer recommends an 8 to 10 inch wide wheel for 305mm wide tires.
|
Sounds good. I will be going with that set-up then. As for tires, I was looking at the Nitto Terra Grapplers, which seem like a nice A/T tire. Anyone have experience with these?
|
no personal experience........but the Terra Grappler is a great tire from all accounts i have ever heard......my roommate just put some on his gmc and they definitely look sweet...
|
I have had the nitto terra grapplers on for about a 1,000 miles and so far i am very hapy with them. 285/75/16 on eagle 16x10's.
