Tires? What ya got

[gators241987]

Well, I need to find me a nice tire. Is there a load requirement that the tires on the 08s need to meet? After a put a lift on, i plan on going with the 38x15.50R20 Toyo Open Country MTs. Will these tires be able to support my truck fine? The lift says the max width is 14.50, but with a rim with the backspacing of 4.5, i think it might fit. any ideas?

Some really good guys to talk with about load ratings is 4wheelparts. They have shops all over the states and have been extremely helpful to me in my last truck (Nissan Titan) and my current truck (F250 PSD). Give 'em a call; they won't sell you anything that is dangerous or won't work like you need it to.

15.50 wide...my guess is that you will get some serious rubbing. I have a 6 inch lift and 37x13.50x22 and mine rubbed like crazy on the front bumper when turning full....until I bought longer bolts and washers to move my front bumper out an inch. Unless you have a 10 inch lift I think you will run into some rubbing issues going that wide.
