I'm running 315/75R16 Buckshots on 2nd gen chrome wheels with worn out front springs and it will rub the back of the fender if you hit a bump in a hard turn. Believe I would be in decent shape with fresh stock springs as far as that goes but it also rubs the drag link end in a hard right turn. I'm thinking its time for a 4" or maybe even 6" lift. Can anyone recommend one.

Some other tire options that might fit stock or with 2.5" front springs are the Interco Trxus MT 34x12.50R16s and the Super Swamper SSR 35x10.50R16s...

Here are some tires I think look great. The largest they make are 285/75R16, which are 32.6 " or (33") and 11" wide w/ a max rim of 8". I looking at the 10 ply
235/85R16 , the stock size for the D250.
