Black steel wheels type B, No lift, 265/75r16, can this be done?

PIGxDESTROYER · Oct 25, 2008

Does anyone have this set-up? 4x4, access cab, Black Steel wheels (type B) from Wheelers, NO LIFT, 265/75/r16 tires…if so can you please post a pic? Is this even doable? I really want to have this done. Would this look silly…putting type B’s w/o lift?
I’ve used the search option to no avail.

Sorry for my bad Enlish. :chug:

I want to do this too. Someone post pics!

with no lift 265 tires will rub and likely drive you crazy.
I got my type Bs and 265/ 75/ 16 Revos installed and Bilstein 5100s the next day so only had to deal with it a short time.

..matter of fact I still get a little rub but just live with it. ...
I think I could trim the fender flare to get rid of the rub but haven't done so.

you mentioned no lift.. so bear in mind that I have Bilstein 5100s which lift the front end.

I had that setup for about 3 months before I lifted. I had to take the front mudflaps off and trim a bit of the fender along the bottom to keep the tire from rubbing. Other than that it was fine.

This was with 265/75/16 MTR's and no lift

Awesome! Thanks for the replies doanehead and silverstreak! Doanehead, do you only have the Bilsteins in the front? Nothing, no aal's in the back? Any CV Boot issues with the Bilsteins?

doanehead · Oct 25, 2008

actually Bilstein shocks front and rear.
no AAL in the rear. I've considered getting the leaf spring TSB done but haven't.
and no cv boot issues that I'm aware of. (is that something I need to watch ?? if so I hadn't heard)

Doanehead-
No, i don't think it's something to watch for. I think it only concerns 3 inch lifts. But, i don't know...i'm a noob.. haha..

How much would you say it lifted your front end after replacing your shocks with the Bilsteins? I'm seriously thinking of going your route. Any problems so far?

doanehead · Oct 25, 2008

Bilsteins lifted the front end enough that it's level with ( or maybe slightly higher than) the rear end, 1.5" or so.
had 'em on for several months now and no issues.

I thought the biggest size without lift and no rubbing is 265/75/16?

Yes, with stock wheels
