Alright I'm wanting a tire just a little bigger than stock (265/70/16) for when I lift my truck. Don't think I want a 33"(285/75/16) something maybe around a 32 for a my 3" lift. Is that about a 275/75/16? or what?

265/75/16 is equivalent to 32" (depending on manufacture)

Then whats the difference between the 265 and 275 it's the width right? But how much wider?

Look here

the first number is how wide it is, the second is a percentage of the width to side wall height here is a link i have because i always get messed up trying to do the math,

wider and higher.

section width/aspect ratio
265mm / 75%

the width is 265mm approx. 10.4"
the sidewall height is 75% of the section width approx 198.75mm approx 7.8"
sidewall times 2 = 15.6+rim height (16")= 31.6" high

a 275/75 is approx 10.8" wide and approx 32.2" high

265/75-16 will fit on your truck with no lift. Just put BFG A/T's on last week. Went wheeling and they rubbed one time and I couldn't do it again to find out where it was rubbing. Soooo...if you wanna put a lift on it, this size is the smallest you should get. Thought about lifting 3" and going a lil bigger but I like where I'm at right now. Just need to find out where it rubbed.

About the best thing you can do is look at the tire manufactures specs. A lot of tires may say one size on the sidewall but end up being bigger or smaller. I have a set of super swampers that are only 32's but are as big as most peoples 33's

Very true. I have wildcat ext 33/12.50/15 and they only measure 31 3/4" high and 11" wide on a 8" wide rim. I had those tires mounted on a 10" wide rim and they acutally seemed bigger cuz they hit my front mud flaps when I turned. Like Ben said it does also depend on the brand of tire. I have a 3" lift and wouldn't go with a smaller tire.

jeffro, what are you running in the rear, as far as suspension is concerned?

 

[MrGrimm]

here are 265/75-16 on an 06 double cab. i have a 2.5" lift up front and 2 3/4" in the rear.

I have the Toytec lift and I just got the add a leaf in the back from the newer tacos which gives it a 3" lift instead of a 2.5".

That's kind of off topic, but that shouldn't bother anyone since the thread has been dead 3 years.
