285/75r16 on 10" rims will it work?

I have 285/75r16 BFGoodrich AT tires and want to put them on 10" wide rims.

Does anybody have pictures with this set-up.

Or should I go with a 8" wide rim for the tires that i have.

An 8" rim would be perfect for that size tire.I'm sure they'd work on a 10" rim but it will definitely flatten the tire out more.

I doubt you'd have any problems either way.

I'd stick to the 8"

Yup, those tires will work on a 10" rim all day long. Here is a pic of my truck when I had that size with 10" rims: http://mcmouth.50megs.com/images/2.jpg

Well I think i figured out the wheel

the Ultra type 44-45 but still up in the air on the width

Man i never relized how hard it is to pick out a wheel there are

so many choices out there.

Yeah, I am running 285/75-16 BFG AT KO's on 16x10 without any problem. I have about 28,000 miles so far.

I would go 8". With a 10" wheel, that is putting alot of stress on the bearings. The truck is just too heavy. The bearings will last about 50K with 16x10 rims and a big tire.

Thats a nice speculation, where's the data to back up that claim?

Roofer · May 11, 2004

haha, living up to your name, eh? I have no data, but I have seen a few trucks that have had excessive wear with wider wheels. This is if they have a negative offset. They do look awesome though. I had 10" wheels on my '98 Z71 for about 20K and then I took them off and sold them. They were 15x10's with 32/12.50/15's(may have been 32/11.5/15's...not sure)
