I think its for a 16" rim. That tire would be very wide.

For a 17" rim a 265/75 is about he biggest you can go. its = to a 31/10.50

Tell my what you are thinking, it has been done. My plan is like 285/75-16 and no lift.

Not sure about 2008 & beyond, but 2005-2007s have the speedo adjusted (correct reading) for a 32" tire. The gearing is fine, and I've been wondering if it is also based on a 32" tire.

I was thinking 265/75/16 Firestone Destination M/T and i was thinking about purchasing the Dick Cepek DC-1 in black in 16 x 8 bc i have the black LE

http://www.dickcepek.com/DC1_Black.html

however do any of you guys know which 16 x 8 will work with this set up?
and i believe from what you guys have been telling me this tire will work on the pathy.
