Tire Upgrade!

[Day95]

So I traded in the stock tires on the ol pathmaker, and got some 31" maxxis big horns.... look amazing, but the sad thing is that i cant turn all the way... it rubs on the inside up front, just means i have to get some offset rims i guess next.

the big wheel and tire package had the turn stops adjusted out more to stop that. So a solution would be to just adjust them out a little.

What size were the old tires? Have your torsion bars sagged up front? You should be able to run 31x10.5" tires on the stock rims...

The old tires were stock,253/75r15... its an xe so it didnt come with the bigger tires, i thought it would be an easy swap too considering. i have the chromie rims that came on her too... as for the sagging i bought aftermarket bars already, i have a 3in sl. its rubbing on the bar on the outside of the torsion bar, not sure what its called tho...

You need new rims with a wider off set.

adjust your turn stops, I had 235's too, upgraded to 33x12.50 on 4" offset rims, it will only take a little bit, I just haven't got around to it..
