Hey guys, how do you think some MT Baja STZs would fit with an OME lift on stock wheels. My toyos 245/70r16s are getting worn down and I think I want to try something different. The MT Bajas are relatively light for that size at 37 pounds and relatively short at 30.4. I assume I will have to punch down the pinch weld and do some molding up front, but you think they will really rub otherwise. I drove 95% on road, with fire roads/hunting roads being the other stuff. http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/truc ... em=BajaSTZ |

May get some rubbing on the sway bar due to the extra width and tread design Just have to mount one up and see |

Tom, it is funny you answered first my friend as I almost sent you this as a PM. You're the wheel/tire guru for sure (I think you ran every combo out there!) The sway bar would be at full lock right? It is really the only place I am worried as I can trim the rest. Do you suggest I just buy a single and see how she fits before buying all five? -nate |

For me it has come down to the these two choice (I think) The 265/70r16 Mickeys which are 37 lbs each, 10.8" wide and 30.4" tall ( measured on a 8" rim though) or the 255/70r16 treadwright pumas which are 40 lbs each, 10.2" wide and 30.3" tall (measured on unknown " rim"" So I save a little weight with the mickeys, gain a little width, and only .1" of height. Tom, what you thinking would be more driveable pal? I know were talking only small differences, but many they seem to make a difference with the KJ. thought about going with the 7/32" spacers JBA sells to compensate for the extra .6" width of the Mickeys. How will the specs change when seated on a 7" rim and not the 8" , it will be taller right? |
