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.

30, 9.5, 16's? or is it a 235 etc 16? Sorry don't want to sound like a dick (again) but just checking its for a 16" rim / sounds expensive - the only 16's id be keen on wld be 235 85

My 30, 9.5 NT on factory rims (-5 I think) scrub on the body near full lock no lift - dont think lift wld fix this :)

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.
