min, whats on, 65 profile absolute rock bottom, max 80 profile, it will thro your accelleration out a bit tho. 2.8 might not be 2 much of an issue, but watch that speedo, it will adjust it, the smaller the tyre profile the smaller the circumfernce, and visa versa so if its doin 100 roations to 1 mile then its doin 90 rotations to amile the spedo is gonna be a tenth of a mile out! over 70 mph thats 7 mph out, blues and twos terrotory
hope it helps

265 are standard tyres but your can up grade to 31x10.5x15 on the same rims Wink

I have seen a set of 33s, although on 16" rims, on a 2.8. Tight in the arches, but they did fit!

Hi Mate, I have 265/75 R16 on a crome 16inc wheel and get on fine with them, The tires are BFGoodrich all terrain which i think are the best to go for, I did have Mud Terrain's which would always be getting cloged with stones, tick tick tick as your going along.
