Factory Wheels with Aftermarket Tire Thread

[Poalpo]

well yes, but the next option over 12" wide ( I like wide tires for looks) is a 35" at 34.76" tall and I don't want to risk any rubbing. Hey the one I picked is a 1/4" taller at least LOL. I wish Ridge Grapplers came with an over 12" model at around 34" tall, that should be safe with the 2-2.25" leveling kit I am putting on.

Yep, that 1/4inch should give you another 1/8 inch rise boost?


But it is true that 34-35 inch tired are somewhat limited -with size increase come less options and more weight.

Had some 275/65r20 K02's put on my Powerboost Lariat the other day, but now I'm hearing a sound when I turn the right. It starts well before my wheel is turned full lock, and it sounds like a rotational hissing noise so I don't think the new tires are rubbing underneath (and its only on the driver side, and only when turning right).

Any ideas?

well from what I have read that tire size should cause no problems, maybe your power steering pump is whining because as an old timer we never ever steered to the full stop, in the old days pumps would start leaking after that pressure load

Yea and weirdly I just went to show a coworker in the parking garage... and it wouldn't make that sound again. So maybe only after its warmed up?

Yeah I was looking for Toyo O/C AT3 35x11.5r20, Discount called Toyo and it was a 12-16 week back order. Ended up settling on 285/65r20 KO2’s.
I paid $1717 out the door, with tire protections. I’m curious as to why yours were so expensive.

Yeh on phone it was 1800, less 200 for 4 Hankook take offs so 1600 with extra coverage.
Online came out to 2K at check out so I paid it on the off chance they deliver.
Yeh they had the 285/65/20. Let me/us know how those work. 1 inch taller same foot print.
Maybe I should get those, one sales guy said they would fit, I will review status on Monday.
FYI: I think they have to come direct from mfg. Also one shop said they'd give me $80 per tire, other one $50. Maybe used tire market is like used truck market now.
I feel like I'm trying to find toilet paper again.

Ohh! I’ll be keeping my take off’s.
There’s a few members on here(even in this thread) who have stuffed 285/65r20’s with and without levels and claimed no fitment issues with factory wheels.
They had mine local and I’ll be having them installed monday.

Did they buy your takeoffs there?

So far 2 Discount tire shops said they would buy them one for 80 one for 50 ea. We shall see, this Thurs or Thanksgiving when ever the tires show up. I was going to do craigslist, but it sounds too easy.
I tried at the dealership when I got it but they didn't bite.

Sold my 2018s Hankooks on Facebook for 300 ish, they had 25,000 on them. Might be worth a shot…

finally pulled the trigger. going 285/65r20 stock wheel no level (for now) on my Race Red 2.7. Exhaustive search ended up deciding on the Gladiator X Comp A/T. Could not find but one bad review on them. They were very affordable and im praying they fit nicely, I will post pictures when theyre installed.

NICE, so that size or the 305/55R20 116 tire is what I am looking at. I kind of want the wider 12.44" tire, but I like how yours is a tad taller at 33.94". What I wonder is the 305 I am looking at is about 50lbs, yours is 65lbs, does tire weight really affect anything?

actually it did drop mpg about 1.5-2 mpg.
I jnew this going in and went with the LT because of the durability and towing. Had it not been for that I would have went with the lighter tires. For work I have to go to undeveloped land that has trails with ruts and knotty stumps. I need a strong sidewall.

as far as noise, it is noticeable in the beginning, but nowhere near as loud as regular mud tires. Ride got a little stiffer but not uncomfortable.

after a month I don’t notice either.

Can you measure your roof height as it sits. I know tires are all gonna sit differently but in my experience bfg’s tend to measure higher once mounted than others.
