It looks like 235-245 with out spaces and with the spacers up to 285. I haven't done anything yet. I cant decide what to do and i have about 10k left on the front tires.I think any thing bigger that the 236 I will need to recalibrate the speed-do .if the idiots here know how

The truck just looks funny with such small tires

Agree. Although I think 235/85's might touch on the inside on the rear. I measured my truck and there is only one inch between the stock rear tires. Dunlop's website shows the following measurements:

215/85/16 Stock Tire
Section Width = 8.6 inches

235/85/16
Section Width = 9.3 inches

My truck also has rubber valve stems instead of steel. What dumb@ss bean counter made that decision. Thats just another upgrade we have to make in order to go to load range E tires at 80 psi.

Keep us updated on your project. There will be others of us who will be doing the same mods.

I run the 235/85/16, michelins. I realy like the way they look. They fill out the wheel wells alot nicer and just look like the truck should have came with them.Truck also seems taller when I'm driving, maybe it's just me. No problems with rubbing and tows great.
