If you look at the load rating in pounds, the 255/85/16 in a load range D is rated for right about the same as a 235/85/16 in load range E. Either one can be more or less depending on brand.
These trucks **** up mud grips on the front fast, you'll notice what that means by 5K, it'll be pretty bad by 10K. I'm pretty sure the warranty requires proper balance and rotation to be done. If a shop is scratching wheels go to one that doesn't.
The 255 is actually a little taller than the 285. If the spacing on the rock stars is the same as the factory wheels the 255s will work fine.
Did this truck come with the vacuum locks?
I wonder how it would look without the caps. Hubs painted flat black with chrome lug nuts.
On the face lift?
The 05 grill and lights mount up where the old ones come off. You need the bulbs and pigtails from the 05 to splice in to the old wiring harness. The grill on the 05 sticks out a little further. The 05 factory bumper will bolt up but since this truck has a replacement bumper I'd imagine he doesn't want to buy another one. There's probably enough room behind the grill guard to cut the notch in the diamond plate to fit the 05, would have to measure it to make sure. The grill guard would hide the new grill anyway so its probably not worth messing with. Just some aftermarket clear markers would make it look like a 03-04.
I really don't care, its my truck and I do what I can. I still like to make fun of the rich boys with thier sun roofs and mega cabs
I've had decent luck with front tires for al long as you keep good shocks, but I'll find out soon enough. I think the replacement bumper is what kills them.
I know 255 work out to be ~.4 inches different but Interco said they were the same height.
No vacuum locks I'm hopping it will look decent with the hubs painted, until then I'll keep running the cheasy plastic stars.

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
I'm not really thinking it would look good, but have you tried the stock caps? I wonder how they'd look if you painted them black.
HEY NOW!!!I really don't care, its my truck and I do what I can. I still like to make fun of the rich boys with thier sun roofs and mega cabs
My dad brought up the idea of cutting the stars out and leaving the outside ring to cover the lug nuts, kinda like the factory ones did. Any opinions?
And damn it I want new headlights now.

Its hard to tell from this pic but the fronts dont look bad without the hub-caps, however the back does. Think I am going to cut out the stars when I get a chance to see how that looks.
Also got some sweet new pin stripping...

I'm pissed.ha ha
Burnt up the new clutch today which almost got my ass stuck. Was cruising through some marsh mud (about 3-4inches deep) with no problem when all of a sudden the tires started slowing down and I was no where close to being in a safe place to stop. Monday I will see how good of a company valair is because there is no reason the clutch couldn't have handle this.
