tires for stock rims
my stock tire size is P255/60/R16. What are some other sizes that will fit my stock polished wheels?

Short Bed Reg. Cab
3.55 Gears
AirRaid FIPK
Gibson Super Truck
Rhino Liner

I have 265/75/16's all the way around my truck.

Your tires are 16x7".

Go to

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.j...del=LTX+M%2FS.

It will give you the specs on different tire sizes including rim sizes for the Michelin LTX MS. You can also pick other tires and do the same thing.

Any of the following sizes will fit your rims:

235/70-16
245/75-16
255/70-16
265/70-16
265/75-16

I just put 285/75-16 on stock rims with the same engine and 3.55 diff ratio as you. I have 3' lift so don't know if they would rub without the lift....................Scott

I just put on some 285/75 R16s on a stock 98 ext cab and have no problems. I haven't had it off road with these tires yet so I don't know if they will hit in off camber situations.

It makes a big difference in the looks of the truck!!!

from reading all of your posts, the widest tire to fit would be the 285's?

I have the same truck as you. It depends on what you want to to with your truck. I am concerned with mud and snow so I went with a taller tire that is thinner than the stock 255's. I put on 235/85-16s. I love them, they look great and really cut through the mud. I chose to go up in height (from 30" to 31.6") so that they'd be less likely to spin. It makes the truck a little slower off the line and the speedo is 5mph slow at 60mph but I don't mind either of those things. Hope this helps.

Oh, by the way...If you go with a tire that has a taller side wall make sure that you get a high load rating like C or D.

I have 285s on my 98 with stock rims and they are fine but just so you know the recommended width for 285 is 7.5 wide rim.
