Nissan3 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 So looking to get the MT sidebiter wheels which have a 4.5 BS and I want to mount a 265/75/r16 tire. The tire is about 31.8" in diameter. does anyone think this will clear the strut? I have a 31.2" currently on another 4.5" BS rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrow Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have the same size of tires AT and no issues with the strut though it looks scary with only few mm of clearance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekazgtr1984 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Ah, nunya. Always good for a laugh. I'd say the biggest concern is the backspacing of your wheels. I ran 265/75R16 Toyo A/T Open Countrys on 16x8 wheels with 3.75" backspacing and I had maybe 3/8"-1/2" of clearance between the strut and the tire. Wheels with 4.5" backspacing might pose a challenge. The only way to know will be doing a dry run to see how it all comes together. Worst case scenario: you may have to get wheel spacers to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissan3 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I appreciate the useful responses, I was just curious to know if anyone has actually tried that size on their pathys before I get stuck with 4 tires that won't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
