What I can’t stand about my GX

[StealthGX-TX]

lol. I know right. I’m copying bfloyds setup. Except I’m going for a lighter tire (his is E rated).

Looks good imo.

Any issue with rim width vs factory specs for those tires?

Any issue with rim width vs factory specs for those tires?

I think there might be a little too much overhang so a little sloppy with hard turns on highway and handling. 285 really requires a 8.5” rim per the tire manu even though it “fits”. Also the 285 is a LT tire so it’s got much thicker side walls and much heavier. So you lose comfort and performance to gain some durability and towing capability, both that I don’t need.
I’m getting the 275/50r22 ‘s which will lose a tad bit of sidewall height and width. But is much lighter and will fit the rim better.
that said , the tires will transform the look imo.

I have one new nitpick, my wife has driven my Overtrail only twice yet she twice has popped the hood instead of the gas hatch when trying to fill the tank. Have to admit those buttons are hard to distinguish. Best solution is to relegate her to her LC First Edition and banish her from my truck.
Since that won’t fly, I had to label it!

Love it
