MTGunner Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 These will be approx. 31” in diameter. Will there be rubbing issues without a lift in your opinions? There are 255/65R16 on that are 29” that do not rub. MTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1badqx4 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I had 265/70r16 on my qx4 when I bought it. was not lifted all stock I had no issues with rubbing, they were a bit worn down so the overall diameter wassailer then new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiTerrano Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It's doable. My father runs this size on his stock Terrano Regulus RS-R. They only rub on full-lock downhills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshrichard Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It works, we run it and it runs a little in reverse but nothing big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microfiz Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Very likely. I bought these recently (BF Goodrich for $105 from Walmart) and they rub (front during reverse turning, back during full load full suspension travel). I guess rim offset matters too. https://www.walmart.com/ip/BFGoodrich-Rugged-Terrain-T-A-Tire-P265-70R16-111T/672705797 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiTerrano Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yes, a wider offset rim will worsen the rubbing by increasing the radius of the turn. My father uses the stock wheels. I'm running 31x10.5r15 muddies on OEM wheels with no rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same size all terrains on stock wheels with no issues. According to the manufacturer my 31 inch tires actually measure at 30.5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 2007... converted it for trail use (reamed out seat tube for dropper, slackened head tube with Angleset and running lighter wheels). Still heavy, a bit twitchy but still too much bike for my skillset. What do you ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should start a bike thread (sorry OP for hijacking). The Elka was tuned for the DHR (under MRP now). The DW-link was notorious for spiking near the end of travel... I started with a DHX on this bike (tuned for FSR suspension) and I was bucked a couple of times. This Elka has been pretty good. I also have a Vector HLR Air which I really like (but blew out the damper at Northstar). I like how the air shock gives me a pedaling platform and makes preloading off jumps more predictable.

I have an 04 Chinook and I'm looking at 245/75/16's on 16x8 rims but I'm not sure if -19 offset is too much or will stick out too far...
