Tire size for 02

Can someone tell me if 285x75X16 will fit an 03 1500 without rubbing in the turns?

I'm sorry I did mean 03.So your saying they will not rub? The 50 series are lower profile I think so they probably wouldn't rub anyway.

The first number is the tire width. So yeah your friends rubbed since it was a 305. A 305 is about 12" wide. a 285 is about 10" wide. 295 is about as wide as you can go without any issues. I had 285/75-16 Nitto's on my old Yukon with stock suspension and there was MORE than enough room.

Re: Tire size for 02

All depends on wheels. stock wheels, should fit, maybe minor rubbing. Great thing about stock wheels, you can fit damn near 35" tire with just a TB crank. If your running aftermarket wheels you might rub anywhere from a little to a s*itload... I was running 8 inches of lift with 20x10's (4.5 inches of backspacing and -24mm of off set) and rubbed like hell. Same tires on a 20x9"wheel (almost 5" of bs and -5mm offset) cleared by a mile

2003 1500 4x4.....305/70(33") tires do fit!!....just level out the truck somewhat, and maybe trim the lower bumper(plastic)....285's fit like they came from the factory, no problem!!

Ya 285/75/16 will fit. I've seen people stuff 315/75/16 in with a crank or ford keys and a bit of plastic trimming. Horrible CV angles tho.
