16 inch stock factory steel wheels?
- Thread starter DieselWarrior
- Start date
Nah. 32x10.5ishR16's. Inch taller than the 31's that were on it. Do kinda wish I had gone with 285's but was unsure of how it would spin them. Got such a great deal I didn't want to hesitate so I went conservative on the size.
Turns out it didn't notice the larger tires.

Yup, I feel ya... I saw a Heep last week with 285s and totally fell in love with them! Right beside it was a Heep with 33X12.5R15, and the 285s looked like 1,000 times better!!! They are "about" 2 inches taller and more narrow... simply... beautiful!
And with my coughlittlecough 4" lift, I wont need to do anything to run them, except.... rims.

You can run the 285's stock.
I wouldn't run those Primewells. It would be cheaper in the long run to spend more on a better tire, or look for a good used set of something else.

A little late now, I just had 4 put on today.
They look good, run good, handle good and was cheap.
BTW, why shouldnt I run them anyway?

as much as I hate to say it 15"ers are a dying breed. Ive been thinking of sticking with a 16" wheel for my truck instead of a 15.
I liked the taller but not wider options and also the higher load ratings available with a 16" wheel. If I was going bigger in a tire I'd probably go with 17's as that seems to be more common now but for the 31-35" range there's still plenty of stock sizes that work.
No video update Andrew?

Check the dieselwarrior build thread. All updates are 10 minute youtube specials starring Andrew. 19 episodes and counting...and damn entertaining IMO.

I've never personally had a set, but a lot of our customers run them on their work trucks/vans. They just don't seem to last that long and they don't like to wear evenly. That and I think the tread pattern looks kinda goofy
I wouldn't call them a bad tire though.
