[GOVT MULE]

Ill sell my BFGs 295/75/16s (less than 500 miles on them) with 5 factory 16" LC wheels and center caps for $1200. (4 wheels have BFGs on them, 1 wheel is the factory matching spare).

Then I will lift enough to clear 35(ish) mud tires on steel wheels and proceed to break everything else on this 335k mile truck!

They look as wide as 12.50 to me

Now I know all size stats differ from real world measurements, but this should get you close...

295 is the measurement in mm across tread which comes to 11.6"
315 is around 12.4"

The second number 70/75 is the %age of the first number that represents the sidewall height: 70% of 295 = 206.5mm = 8.13"

My 295/70/18 Terra Grapplers were 34's and I really could tell the difference I power feel from them and the 305/6518's which are 33's but wider.

Does not seem like it would matter but that little bit makes a difference. Bomar felt it too when he borrowed my truck.

That said, 315's would look pimp but you will damn sure notice that power loss.

Is there a comparable tire to the 305/65/18 in 16" wheels? If so, I'm convinced it's the perfect tire for the 100.

To me, this is the sweet spot on height / width / power for a lifted 100

I've got 5 TSL Radials in 305 70 R16. Do you think Ardenne will notice if I put them on the 100 after the lift?

 

[Fireman]

I really do think that I need new housings. The light is bright but you can tell one side is a little brighter than the other and they don't seem to focus (for lack of a better description) out far. The light just seems to be there. They are factory housings with the glass lenses.

Dear God.

That's been one of the complaints with the LEDs is that they don't produce much "throw" of the light. The emitters are on the sides of the stalk, and they don't shine much rearward to reflect into whatever amount of silver you still have in your housings. I have HIDs in the lows and LEDs in the highs. Seems to be a good match, because the HIDs have more throw while the LEDs produce a LOT of light around and in front of the truck. Too bad the LEDs don't have a forward facing emitter.

At first, it was sort of strange to me too. Now that I've gotten used to them, I like the "flood" effect of the LEDs.

Will 295/70/18 (34x11.6) fit on a 100 with a small lift?

 

[wngrog]

Yes. I ran mine with 866s

 

[Bomar]

That is the size I run on my rig. May sure and use OE wheels. No aftermarket wheels have the correct offset.

 

[Bomar]

Fireman the other issue is you will be giving up glass headlights for plastic. Glass zero maintance....plastic will start to yellow in a few years.

The light bulbs don't disappoint.

Are Tundra 18 in ok?

 

[under_psi]

Are Tundra 18 in ok?

yes, they have the proper offset....

my aftermarket wheels are literally the only set i found, after countless weeks of searching-and help from bomar, that have anywhere near close to OE offset that dont stick out bad.....
