Default will it fit pt 2

Ok guys ik this prob out there somewhere but I can't seem to find it. I wanna run ion alloy 171 rims. These are -38 offset 4 backspace. All I'm doing is a torsion crank and blocks in the back if need be. Rn I have 3 options of tire size. Bigger is better idc ab regearing aND trimming isnt bad as long as i dont have to cUT off my whole valence. Here are my 3 options... am I missing another size in a 16" rim ranging from 32-35?




305 70 16





315 75 16





295 75 16





All info is useful!

I prefer 295/75R16. You'll be able to clear them but will need to trim the valance. I ran them for a while and they only rubbed the frame at full lock..

295/75R16 = 33.4X11.61R16

I'd personally go with the BFG's. After that the Coopers.

Width of the will determine more about the height than the size on the tire.

I'm just speaking more of tires, not sizes lol. past -12 offset, I have no experience in. I know the BFG's are good tires, I've heard good things about the Coopers, I only used them for about a month (the whole truck was an uncomfortable ride so I can't say it was the tires lol), and I've heard kinda 50/50 on the Kumaho's, but I have no experience with them.

I would go 305. You will still have to trim but it wont rub your frame and you wont have to cut as much to make them fit. I ran 315s on -24 and decided 305s worked so much better for me.
