Can I get away with a "265/75/16" ?


Recommended Posts

Looking for a quick response, I need new tires. Dont have enough for the lift yet. Can I get away with this size with a completely stock R50? Or will I need a 265/70/16?

 

265/75/16 = 31.6 inches tall

265/70/16 = 30.6 inches tall

 

Thanks

We were able to run the 255/70R16 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor w/Kevlar without rubbing too bad prior to the lift.

They claim they are 30.1" and are close at about 29.5" with full weight on them.

But they did rub in the rear when fully loaded on bumps or with the trailer hooked up.

After the lift they are just about perfect.

I actually think the tires cost more than the lift.

Those 265/75s will rub. I have those with 2'' of lift and I still had to cut a little bit of the plastic next to the front bumper to make them clear when turning.
