Anyone got any pics of this combo? havent been brave enough to try it myself yet.

 

Yeah Im interested also. Ive been looking for 17" rims to offset the flex a bit but theyre not easy to find cheap.

 

No tire shop worth their weight will mount those tires on stock steel rims. 285s are the very widest, minimum for a 315 is an 8" rim.

 

I have the 285 75/16 and I think they are about 2" oversize. That makes them about 33", 315 would be about 35".

 

No pic, but we run that on our 97. I would like to get some wider rims but haven't yet. Even down at 25 psi they held fine. I typically run 42/37. The main reason I want the wider rim is to stiffen the sidewall some. Other then that they are fine.

Tiny knows his stuff.... Three years ago I asked my tire vendor what the widest size I could put on these silly stock wheels was and he too threw the 285 at me.

In June it will be 18x9's and Toyo M/T 35/12.5/18's for this old dog!!!

 

LOL, IVE DONE IT ON MINE, AND IVE BEEN A 5 STAR DEALER FOR 20 YEARS...LOL
THEY LOOK AND RIDE PERFECTLY

 

heres a pic i got off of timbeaux38. Hope he dosnt mind....

good lookin rig! they are 35's

 

Dude, remember this is the 2nd Gen forum. I think you misread the question.... He asked about the stock steel wheels on a '99. They are only 6.75" wide. Your '03 has at least 17 x 8's maybe even 17 x 9's.

If you've been a dealer for 20 years I don't have to tell you the kind of liability that goes along with doing something as stupid as putting a 315 on a 16 x 6.75.

Now, on the factory aluminum wheels that became available in '00 or '01 the 315 is not a problem because they are a 16 x 8. That extra 1.25" makes all the difference.

 

These are the rims im talking about just to clarify. These tires are 265s look tiny in that wheel well

 

I had that style wheel on my 2000 1500 ext.cab shortbox. I was able to run 315/85R16 Wrangler RTS,s without a problem and it filled the wheelwell nicely and no clearence problems. P.S. does anyone know if any mfr.makes a wider replacement wheel for a '99 dually,would like to run that size again??????

 

Did you tow with them?

 

SORRY "DUDE"..??? DUDE??
ANYWAYS, DIDNT REALIZE WAS 2ND GEN...MY BAD...
MY 01 1500 IS RUNNING 285/75/R16 COOPER ATR'S

AND THEIR IS NO LIABILTY IN NYS FOR CUSTOMER SUPPIED TIRES THAT ARE DOT REGULATED, MY CONSCIOUS IS CLEAN...

THANKS FOR THE REDIRECTION THOUGH.

 

Well, not exactly what you were lookin for but,............

here is 305s on stock chrome rims. dont mine the multi-colored paint!!lol

 

Without lifting the truck, they will probably rub on a hard turn with a compressed spring, like going over a bump. I had 12x16.5's and they rubbed a bit, so do my 285x16's.
