Tire question.

[rs74]

I have an 03 short bed sport side z71 with a 6" superlift. I currently have 315/75/16 wild country tires on a 10" rim with an offset. Not sure how much but they stick outside of the truck. They are wore down and rub a little at full lock.

I have found another set same size but different brand tires. What I am wondering is if I go back to an 8" rim how much difference would that make. I assume I will lose some width which is fine but might gain height? Previous owner busted the rear lower inner front fender liner with current setup. I am wanting to tuck the tires back underneath the truck and not run flares.

Its all about back spacing and offset. Take some measurements and you'll be all set.

My daily driver had some funky rims on it that stuck out. I got some better rims, same tires and they tucked back in like they were supposed to.

However, some fender flares would look bad a$$ on that truck.

Running a tire too wide on wheels too narrow will make the tires bulge in the center. You will ruin the tires by only riding on the center of the tread. Getting a wheel with the proper width and offset would be the best thing to do.
