Never be able to run 265-75s with 2.5 inches of lift
plus will also need to regear or forget about ever using overdrive
stick with 245-75-16s much better choice and better fitment

wheels size, 16X7 with 4 inch back spacing or with the 2.5 inch lift you can stay with stock wheels and the 245-75-16s much cheaper and works great

thanks for the replies.... sorry if im asking questions that have been asked a million times.... yeh i figured that id nead to regear... im gonna be installing a powertrax lockright in the rear and a detroit TT up front so i was gonna regear while in there..... with 4.10's.... I will just stick with the 245/75's would you recommend a regear with 245/75 tires?

Most everyone who lifts runs the 245-75s with no problems, you may feel some power lose, more due to the weight of the tire wheel combo than the height. I have ran 245-75s/265-70s etc and didn't notice that much difference, only when I went to the 265-75s did I lose power/mileage etc until I regeared
