Hey guys pretty simple one. I have bought some 16" tyres to go on the NT sierra. The biggest offset I can get it - 13
Will that clear everything okay??

I have 15x7 -13. With 31x10.5 tyres. The tyres just nick the leaf spring in WT diff WT spring configuration.
Your tyre choice will depend on what clears or not.

I would say yes It will be fine, steering wise. (Provided you have sufficient lift/tyre clearance.)
As far as i know, the spring spacing and axle width went out by the same amount.

Random size to try but the price was very good. I can get good quality king rims very cheap so that's not an issue.

I've been thinking about 245/75r16s for road tyres.
245/75r16s are nearly identical in od to the majority of 31s, just skinner. IMO a much better size for a Sierra than a 31x10.5, only downside is that the majority of them seem to be load range 'E'.

and 31x10.5x15 is a very common and very cheap size. Nothing wrong with them.
