Have a friend with a 2000 Z71 with 16 inch stock rims, but he has 285/75 R 16 tires on his., said it was the biggest tire the rim would allow and has had no problems with rubbing or scraping.
Will the larger size tire fit mine..?? |
That's what I have on my 2002. Try it and see.

I compared the two sizes and the sidewall of the 65 is 7.8" and the sidewall of the 85 is 8.4"....The radius of the 65 is 15.8" and the radius of the 85 is 16.4"....The diameter of the 65 is 31.6" and the diameter of the 85 is 32.8".. The circumference of the 65 is 99.4" and the circumference of the 85 is 103.1". The revs per mile on the 65 is 637 and the revs per mile on the 85 is 614.0...Speedometer reading will be off 3.7% slow. When you read 60MPH you will actually be going 62.2 MPH.... |
