No in short you will need a lift mate

an check, the tyre size is probably 265/75 that your currently running

If the tyres are proper cheap an i mean cheap then get them anyway an lift to suit.

15 quid a tyre?5mm tread,and its the width thats wider,they arent any taller

Then something is wrong mate! a 285/75/16 should be a noticably bigger!! Its a 33x11.50!! which is going to be bigger then a 265/75/16!!!

£15 a tyre aint bad but with 5mm tread they are pretty well knackered. Depends on your plans mate. If your keeping your truck an happy to go for a 2"+2" lift then you'll be laughing! If not they will almost certainly rub on stock height!

ok im lost,normal car tyres........265 or 285 relates to the width 75 is height?

Yeah thats it!

But its not a case of a 265/75 is the same height as a 285/75

Its percentages. So its 75% of 265mm an 285mm so it equates to a taller tyre. Its classed as a 33" tyre mate.

which needs 3.5" - 4" of lift to clear because its slighty narrower.

£15 is WAAAAY too cheap for part worn BFGs unless there is something dodgy about them (or they're TOTALLY worn!)
