I have an 04 A-cab with 245/75/16 and I was wondering if I would be able to fit 285/75/16 on there. My goal is to get wider tires, and I'm not concerned about lifting the truck or getting bigger rims. What size rim do I need?

you need a 2" lift to clear 285/75/16's. And you need a minimum of a 16" rim to clear brakes.

Would a 285/70/16 fit in the wheel well? My goal here is more wider than taller.

doubt it, they will probably rub when your turning and hit a bump or going in/out of a driveway. lift that thing!!!!!!

Here is my truck with a 2 3/4 lift and 285/70/17 which is equivelent to 285/75/16. Still not much room to clear a larger tire.

How much did the lift kit cost? I might have to wait for awhile before I have enough for tires and a lift. In the meantime I am going to get a new Flowmaster and tips, since it's more affordable for me. Did you mod your exhaust?

It was 950 for the coilovers and 450 or so for the Upper control arms. But I bought my lift for function and i use it. If your just street driving there are cheaper combos out there. Just search.

I put a Bassanni single in, dual out exhaust on my truck. Its the exact sound i was looking for, not too lound when im on the freeway and wakes up when i romp on the throttle.

I personally have a 285/45/r22 tire on my 05 DC and its fine. When i make a sharp U-turn, its rubs slightly, but very little. I check under the truck and tired when I first heard it and didnt really see any problem at all!! This is all with a stock suspension with the TRD off road package. Works fine for me!! looks good to, to have that big wide tire!!, lots of grip and no squealing!!
