255/70/18 Duelers: These are slightly taller than 265/75/16's. I have no issues with the 245/75/16 MT/R's I usually run. With spacers/adapters, and maybe a clevis/iso boost/pinch weld pounding, any chance of these fitting? SCREAMING deal on a set of 5 with new Sahara rims. |

It's a 32" I'd say with the pinch beat down, and trimmed at the fog light doors with the correct spacing you shouldn't have too much fitment problem whats the backspace on the rims? i'm thinking spidertracks will put them out too far and it'll rub the body instead of the pinch i'm sure you've already pondered the regearing that most do at that size so I won't even bring that up |

I seriously have no rubbing issues on the pinch weld with the 245/75's or 265/70's. The 245's do not hit the sway bar at all but the 265's kiss it on the stock rims. I need to get the BS figured. '05 on up has no fog light door issues. I don't know who is running really tall tires with a 6-spd, but with either set of tires that I run now I have no power issues. If I did the math to compensate for the height, I'll bet I am getting over 18 mpg when using the 265/70's. My actual is mid-17's. If I could scrounge a set of 3.73 axles for mine, it would be like an auto running 4.10's ( or close to it.) |

I'd imagine a set of used 3.73's would be easy enough to come across I guess I'd say give it a shot, cant see why they wouldn't fit and be at least street drivable |

I had no real power loss with 245-75s or 265-70 either, still did burnouts when I wanted to, never down shifted much, power on hills. But with 265-75s its a completely different vehicle now. But what the heck put them on and run them |

Also I just junked out a rear KJ diff with 3.73s no one wanted it so went to the scrap yard tore the guts out of another one and if no one picks up the housing soon its going as well! So yes they're easy to find |
