Thread: 245/75r16 pics?

You shouldn't need to redrill for the carrier, you can just invert it.

You still need to drill it even if you just invert it or you can only use 4 holes, not 6. The holes aren't evenly spaced. The centre 2 are more one way than the other.

The other down side of flipping is the carrier isn't straight. It off sets the wheel out to the drivers side so if you just flip it, the wheel sits more to the centre and as the wheel is already bigger, you can forget seeing anything out the back window.

I decided since I would need to drill 2 holes anyway, I might as well drill 6.

FYI. Most 245/75r16 will fit without a carrier lift (what ever method) but the BFG KM2 are apparently a fraction bigger than most other 245/75r16. I had read it several times before I bought them and they fit but there is probably 1mm in it making contact with the rear step. I will admit however my step may have been very slightly bent up from bottoming it out sometime. Just be aware its close.

Happy Days.

267/70 r16 is legal, and just fits the rear door, tyre just sits on the bumper, not enough to make a scuff mark, but u cant see daylight under it

Power loss & fuel is minimal, speedo was out about 8 k/ph out. She was a great truck, I had it for about 10 yrs, but she got written off in the storm in November.
