Another will they fit.....

[MustBeNice]

I have a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4x4 Crew..... it appears the previous owner cranked the torsion bars to almost level the front end and possibly did a front wheel well clearance mod (??? not 100% positive). It is currently rolling a set of Hankook ATM 285/75/16's on the factory 16" aluminum rim, with no rubbing and about 5/8-3/4" of clearance at full turn on the rear side of the front wheel well. It's time for new tires and I was thinking about rims as well.

 

So here lies my question.... What will fit? I originally wanted to put another 285/17/16 (BFG KO2's) onto a 16x8 rim that has an offset of +10. But don't think that will work after a little research. I'm now thinking of a 265/75/16 (BFG KO2's) on the same rim (16x8 @ +10 offset). Does anyone "know" if this setup will fit... without any additional trimming???

 

Here is a link to illustrate my current application (285/75/16 on 16x6.5" wide w/ +28 offset factory rims) vs. the application I'm thinking about (265/75/16 on 16x8" wide w/ +10 offset - Ultra Rogue Black Rims). Looks like it should fit to my untrained eye??

Also hoping the change from a less aggressive looking Hankook ATM 285/75r16 "ballooned up" on a narrow factory rim to a BFG KO2 265/75r16 "filling out" on wider (1.5") aftermarket rim will help keep that "full" looking wheel well (with added fender flares).... along with gain me back a little gas mileage and towing power.

 

Does anyone have a picture of a 265/75 vs. 285/75???

 

Also thinking of lowering the front end back down about 3/8-1/2" to gain back a little ride quality

 

Here is how it sits currently.....
