Are you building a Mud Monster or a Pavement Princess??
If so you can have your own thread in this section.
This section on other websites has led to arguments and contention. People are posting pictures of their pride and joy and therefore CONSTRUCTIVE comments only please!
I've fitted 235x75x15s to mine on modulars that are offset from the original wheels. So far I've not had to trim anything just pushed the bottom of the bumper out a bit. Hopefully taking it off road at the weekend so will see if any bumper needs to come off.
More importantly will 10.5 tyres fit on 5j rims? Will there be enough room inside the arch with the standard offset on the rims?
As others have said too, look at what your intended use is, don't get too hung up on running massive tyres. The thing you need to bear in mind is that these are plenty capable trucks with little more than all terrain tyres. 29"ish aggressive tyres will see you right in all but the most extreme conditions without too much in the way of clearance issues. All IMHO of course.
My main intention is to use the car to go to and from work daily which is only 2 miles and then using it for pay and play days should i look for 29/30 " by 9.50 ?
For daily duties without any gearing changes personally i'd not go above 27". I'm running 195/15 which usually come in at 80 profile and they're remoulds that are typically taller. The maths works mine out to be 27.29". I use mine daily and on hills i can be down to 3rd mostly. 2"taller at 29" would make it struggle. Off road will be massively affected too, i'm in 1st gear now on climbs that were 2nd and tickover before!
All fine if you are planning to mod the gearing otherwise it can ruin a very capable truck. I'm going down to 215's when these are shot.
