tire size

i currenty run 265/75/16s on my duramax and was wondering if a 285/75/16 would fit without torsion bar adjustment? Could i possibly run a 305/70/16 (mud tread not street tread) with torsion bar adjustment or leveling kit? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Let me know what you are running on your dmax.

My truck fit the 285/75-16 on stock rims with very little trimming and the use of zipties. I have the same tires on 16x8 rims with no torsion crank, but I can't run front mudflaps without a torsion crank. I just stopped running mudflaps until I get the money together for the cognito leveling kit. It really depends on the truck if they will fit. What fits on one, doesn't always fit on another. But, yes you can get either of those tires to fit as long as you use stock rims or similar back spaced rims with a little trimming and possibly a torsion bar crank.
