265/70/16 vs. 265/75/16?

[doublerinnys]

Here's my question. I want to know which size I can run without any rubbing? I have no lift in the rear but I do have a TT in the front to level it out. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also tire choices. Thanks.......Hank

Forgot to add I will be using stock wheels.

Im pretty sure 75's will work, 70's will rub a little bit. Im not sure how much you twisted your front end... but if you go to about 1 1/2" it should be ok. 70's are a wider wheel and will rub.

Most people on here have Goodyear Duratracs or BFG Mud Terrains. Treadwright tires are getting really great reviews too and are pretty cheap.

Other way around. You're thinking 275. He's just saying 70 vs. 75 profile-wise. 265/75r16 will rub at stock height. I test fitted them at discount tire when I was getting new tires and they rubbed a ton. So I got 265/70r16 which do not rub at all. Only problem is, I got a body lift like 2 months later so my tires look tiny. Wish I would have just dealt with the rubbing for a while, but it wasn't up to me...

Wait nevermind I just read again and saw you have a TT. You will be fine with 265/75

when i re read it i thought it sounded fishy... thank you.

Thanks. I lifted the front almost 2 inches to level it out, but just didn't know about the rear rubbing. I was thinking about lifting the rear but like the leveled look of just lifting the front. I wanted to go with the 75's but just didn't know for sure. Thank again guys......Hank

If it rubs in the back a little you can emedy that by adding 1.25 or 1.5" spacers. Another option is drilling a couple 1/4" holes at the bottom of the plastic fender well and ziptie it closer to the frame. I did both to fit my 35x12.5s and I like the new stance of the spacers and you dont ever see the zip ties (I used black ones). Post up some pics here or in the Show off your trac thread!

Here's mine with 265/70/16's at stock height then with a 1.75" TT and lift shackles...

By the way, the Sport Bar is for sale in another thread.

Hey - so the 265/70/16's are good to overland in at stock height? Thinking about getting KO2s
