285/75-16 Duratracs

[tbhuge]

I have a 2006 1500HD. Here in the next couple months I am putting new tires on and am going with the Goodyear Duratracs. My question is, can I go with 285/75-16 on the factory rims, without having any rubbing issues? I have cranked the torsion keys a little bit and gained about an extra inch over stock front end height. Does anyone have any pictures with these tires in this size on their truck?

 

Thanks

More than a few of us running these tires on 2500HD trucks. You may need to trim a bit of plastic off the front fascia if the truck is a GMC. No other issues that I know of.

if they keys are up a little already you should have no problem.. ive had 285,s on the past 5-6 hd trucks ive had and never had to trim plastic if the keys were up, if you gained an inch your fine..

So if you have a 2500HD and you had to trim the plastic slightly, does that mean that this size will be too big for a 1500HD?? Doesnt the 2500HD sit slightly higher to begin with than the 1500HD?

I have 285's on a regular 1500 ECSB and they don't rub at all..

They should sit the same.

1500HD and 2500 HD have the same suspension, different frames, but they should sit same height. I also ran 285/75r16's on my previous 1/2 ton before the body lift. Same deal, just had to trim the corner of the front plastic air dam.
