I run a 16X8 wheel from Optima Alloys. It is similar in looks to the AR
Nitro, but it has a slightly more positive offset. This sets the wheel just
a little more to the inside. I originally had the same wheel in a 15X8 and
30 X 9.50 rubber. This wheel had a more negative offset and the tires rubbed
due to the wheel being set too far to the outside. I went to the 16" wheel
because it moved the wheel back inside. I have had a 255/65R16s tire on my
truck, with the stock 16" wheels from a 2001 Dakota and they clear, but
barely. I don't think this tire will work for you on a GENII. I have the
spec sheet on the BFG AT KO. This tire is an more than an inch taller than a
31 X 10.50 X 15.

Subject: DML: Gen II & 16" Wheels
Need some info guys. I have a 1993 4x4 V6 which came with the 235/75R15
option.
I recently received 4 new FREE BFG AT/KO's but, they are P265/75R16. I know
that a 31x10.5 R15 will fit this vehicle no prob. I also know that the width
is
about the same 10.5" = 265 mm. The dia. of the new tires is about 31.8".
The wheelwell opening in approx. 33" wide and 35" from the ground. I also
have
about 7" of clearance from the top of my 30x9.5R15's to the top of the
wheelwell.
Do you think that these would fit without any major mods? Any
reccomendations
for a 16" wheel that fits a Gen II? I welcome your feedback and suggetsions!
Mitch
