16X8 wheels & 255/65/16 Tires on Jimmy, rub issues?

SteveI · 05-12-2004, 12:23 PM

I'm probably going to go with a 16x8" wheel and 255/65/16 tires on my stock height 00 4x4 Jimmy. I just wanted to check and see if anyone knows of any rub problems running the wider tire in the front?

Thanks,
Steve

I've got 255/55/18s on my blazer, that is dropped about 2.5" and they don't rub

quick question dantheman if you got 255/55/18 what size rim do you have i am going to buy some 18" rims but need to know what size to get
18 x 8 or
18 x 8.5 or
18 x 9

and you say you got a 2.5 lowering kit do you have any pics

Just wanted to say that 255/65/16s will rub in the front! I'm switching the fronts to 235/70/16 to hopefully solve the rub problem.

They still rub on the flaps but not as bad. To be honest, I think the stock tires would probably rub on these flaps.

I went ahead and took the flaps off tonight. I'm trying to find a smaller flap or something to use in their place. So for now, with the flaps gone I "should" have ZERO rub issues.
