Ok currently I have 265/75/16s on my lly and I'm looking at upgrading the wheels/tires. I wanna see what tire sizes you guys think I can run to get what I want (I'm horrible with metric sizing)

It says online I'm currently 31.6" tall and 10.43 wide. I'd like to get a taller rim and be closer to 32.5-33 tall and 12-13 wide. I'm hoping this will help with my cruising speed until I get a 6speed valve body and the width help with traction on launches/corners.

The truck is currently lowered 2" In the rear but I could change it if needed suspension is not an issue I can raise the suspension back to stock with no problems.

Any rim size is ok as well as long as I can run e rated tires for towing.


Thx

Not real familiar with tire/wheel set-ups for 2wd. Your local tire shop will be a big help with fitment. With 4x4's, generally a positive offset (+10 to +20 ) will help fit a larger tire. Seems like a 285/60r18 fits best without a lot of trimming. A 285/65r18 needs more trimming. Both sizes can be found in "E" rated.
