I ordered the OME medium springs and am wondering how the truck would look if I got the 245/75/16? Anyone has any pics? Also, have you noticed any 'tippy' feeling since the track is now narrower by an inch- especially with the additional lift.

Ideally I would be able to fit 255/75 or a 265/75 (since I'd prefer wider track) but with the stock wheels I'm not sure if they'll fit without rubbing, especially since my Pathy sees a fair amount of off-road duty where the suspension really gets stretched to its limits. Holy cow, that was a long sentence :chuckle:

EDIT: Also considering 235/85/16 now - I prefer tall and skinny :chuckle:

Anyone?

I guess I'll roll the dice on the 245/75/16 size and hope the narrower track and the lifted height won't cause any major issues.

Thanks man, that helps!

265/75/16 would be awesome but I'd imagine a bit much for the Pathy's drivetrain components and probably not ideal for a daily+weekend explorer.

I've had 255/75/16's on my stock 2002, and clearance was not a problem.

I take that back. Occasionally it would rub in reverse.... not after I got my bumper fixed.
