Thumbs up tire siz on stock rim?????

I run a 03 2500 HD. i run bfg, at ko's. 285/75 16 on stock rims.

i want to bump to 295/75 16's. same tires.
will they fit on the rim?

i have the front way up so rubbing while turning shouldnt be an issue. my 285's never hit even with my plow on

thanks

I am thinking the same thing, those wheels are 6.5" wide unfortunately. I am sure they would mount up, but I don't know what it would look like or how it would steer. I bought some cheap H2 wheels for my truck, it is much easier to fit big tires on those (8.5" wide).

hmm, yhea, i realy like the stock wheel. i would buy new ones, but i like the stock ones. maybe i could just have stock ones widened. not sure why, but i just like the way they look andfit.

maybe i will order one, see how it works out

I thought about getting a set widened too, if you get a quote let me know how much. I felt bad about putting the super heavy cast H2 wheels on my truck and taking the lightweight forged stock wheels off

I'm running 315/75-16 on stock rims and a 3' bl. You should be able to fit 35" w/ just cranking up the t-bars.
