is any one running 305/75/16,s on there stock 2001 wheels if so could you post some pics i have heard they will wear faster is this true and if i turn up the t-bars will they clear mine is a step side so it has the stupid mudflaps will that make any diffrence thanks in advance

 

some guys are running them on stock wheels, I ran them on my old F-250 with stock wheels (also 7" wide) and I highly DO NOT recomend it, they will look, wear and handle funny. get some wider wheels or go with a 285/75R16 tire, it's the same height but not as wide and will fit on your stock rima lot better.

 

Yea a 305 is kinda wide for a 7" wide rim. I have 285/75 on my 16x7 stock rims and they fit well.

 

i also think they will be too wide i have the 285s and theyre fine, i have a stepside too with the mudflaps and even with the 285 they hit the mudflaps, i dont find it to be a big problem, would probly be easy enough to trim them of just take them off

 

thank,s guy,s i allredy have a new set of 305,s from my previous truck so probly buy some aftermarket wheel,s and maybe a body lift.

 

get a body lift and some 10" wheels and it will look like a totally differnt truck. don't forget the gap guards with the body lift...

or you might be able to fit those 305's on 8" wheels with just cranking the torsion bars a bit, but the body lift and 10" wheels will look a lot better

 

I agree.

 

i really want to put some 10,s and a body lift but i just traded my z71 in on this truck and it had the same set up mentioned above and it rode really bad i don,t know if it was the lift or just the chevy any thought,s

 

A body lift won't affect ride quality. It had to be the tires or the truck. What air pressure did you run? Were the torsion bars cranked up?
