New BFG Question
OK, heres the final answer I have found. I spoke with a BFGoodrich District Rep yesterday for alomst 30 min. The tire, 305/65, is a true 33x12. He said that BFG recommended that the tire rim used for this application should be b/w 8.5-11 inches wide. He said you can go as low 7.5, but the tire would wear in the middle, bc the bead is being brought it for a narrower rim than what is to be used. He went on to say it would fit, they wouldnt recommend placing it on a rim no less than 8.5, but it could work. My STX has a 17x7.5, and it would work, but wasnt clear if it would be safe. So, anyone thats been ready this Thread, hes the answer I hope you've been looking for, jus as I have.
I thought about it, but right now I cant afford an aftermarket rim. I called yesterday about the Dick Cepek DC-1-Black, but they said they dont make them in a 6x135. There hoping for by christmas to have them out. Honestly, I'm not sure. I do, but I dont. I might jus have to settle with putting the Pro-Comps back on there until later on. I'm really not sure. What do you think?
Before I got into all this with the searching, and calling reps, I went to the spec page on Pro-Comp, and BFG, and pretty much, the BFG is .2 inches taller, and either +/- .4 inches wider. I'd love to put them on. I also have a leveling kit, and the 315 would fill up the fender-well, but I'd lose out on my tire foot-print. I love how wider the tire is, but for now, I havnt made up my mind. I'll probably decide next month, and when I do, I'll for sure hit you back, and give you a progress report.
Honestly, I feel like they'd work on my truck, and the only problem I see would be if I cut the wheel to hard one way or the other, it might rub the lower a-arms. My Pro-Comps do that now, but its not hurting the tires, nor the a-arms. It put a small polish mark on there. If you have any suggestions, feel free to drop them.

it doesnt hurt a wider tire to go on the stock wheels . its jus that bfg puts them on a wheel of the desired width and takes the measurements of the tire on that wheel it'll jus make the tire not nearly as wide on the stock wheels cause i used to have a set on my stock wheels and now i have 315 only difference is mine are 16 inch wheels
