Tire & Rim Combo

[firebane]

stock truck and usually not very agressive off roading but i need to replace tires on my rig soon so I was thinking and also looking at diff rims as well and the Teflon Mojaves.

But will 16x8 work on a stock rig? Or will I have to go 16x7?
Or is there another good brand of tire with a decent offroad meat and city driving?

So I'm looking at these tires:
062340:Bridgestone - Dueler A/T P235/70R16 104S

And these rims:
ATX Series - Mojave Teflon 16x8 6x139.7 0mm (Teflon)

or

American Racing - Baja Polished 16x8 6x139.7 0 Polished C$ 128.52

Light color w/dark wheels, dark color with light wheels (IMHO)

As far as tires, you'll hear the two camps - Revo and BFG AT. I'm a BFG guy, but the tires you linked to look pretty decent.

Yah I have the odd silver color for my truck hence why i was thinking of the mojaves.

The Mojave Teflons would be sick. I really like those rims. With the 16x8 i would not run a 235. Kinda narrow. If i was you, i would go with the 16x8 Mojave Teflons and a 255/65/16 tire. Damn near the exact same size as the 235's just a bit wider. Both the REVO and the BFG A/T are available in that size. BFG if you want a more offroad oriented tire(3 ply sidewall) and the REVO if that isnt as important.(2 ply sidewall) I have the REVO's on my Touareg for my winter/mild offroad setup and i love them.

Ooops didn't mean to post the 235... there should be no problems in running a stock size of 265/70R16 or how about a 265/75R16?

REVO's are great, but you might want to look at the Nitto terra grapplers. I've had great luck with mine for the last year and they are pretty quiet on the streets.

265/70 (stock) or 265/75 should have no problems on a 16x8 rim.

Alright, that sounds better. 265/70/16 for sure. 265/75/16 if your rig a 2000 or lower. 2001 and 2002 were lower than the previous years.

Yah mines a 99 SR5 4wd

Go for the 265/75/16 combo. You should be good to go. The 99 had the highest stock suspension out of all of them.

i ran my 265/75 pro comp m/t's on stock 16x7's before i did my lift. all i had to trim was a tiny tiny bit of inner fender with a razor, i have a 2000.

Hey fellow BC'er;

IMO I would go with the Teflon Mojave's Sick looking wheel, seen a few rigs rolling in town with them!

As for Tires, If you do more on-road driving then Off-roading, you should really look at finding a good riding tire for the road. (even more because we get a fair bit of wet weather up here and some M/T's don't grip to well on wet pavement)

Most Tires have rating charts online
