Tire chain question with 255/85/16's and OME suspension

[silvercruiser]

I'm running BFG KM2 255/85/16'swith OME 886 suspension. So far not rubbing but I'm concerned about running this size with tire chains this winter. Does anyone have experience with tire chains on a similar suspension/tire setup? Thanks in advance.

Depending on your steering stop settings, the chains might contact the upper control arm at full turn, since that's where oversized tires can touch.

Is it on a tacoma? Stock wheels? Odds are you'll hit your frame on hard turns.

You might be ok with cables but chains would make me nervous.

Sorry....I was lacking some important info:
2009 Toyota Tacoma double cab TRD BFG KM2 255/85/16'swith OME 886 suspension and stock 16x8 wheels.

Also, Snow driving would be onroad not offroad.

thanks,

I've got same front setup. Your front tires will rub at full stuff and full turn on UCA and possibly the sway bar too. Chains will do the same (OK worse). You will be OK if you don't turn hard. But that just means you shoudl only use front chains to get out of trouble and then take them off. Don't run with them. I'd think these tires with a wheel with less backspacing would work better with chains but I have not tried that myself.
