So you want to run 265/75R16's with your 3" lift? This is what you can expect.
This pic was taken on a level garage floor. Tire is a 265/75r16 Goodyear Duratrac. Wheels are Cragar Soft 8's with 4" back spacing. And the pinch welds are beaten flat.

lol, yeah. When I bought mine it had OME lift and 32's. I tried to turn around on a dirt road, dropped a tire down about a foot (seriously), and the other side about ripped the rear fender off... I was like, WTH! I promptly sized down... |

Funny, doesn't look like much room, but hard to tell from the angle. With my skinnies, it rubs for sure, but never ripped off a flare...certainly come close at full flex though (mostly the rear right). These tires aren't quite as aggressive as duratracs though. |

Its touching - as in tight up against it. |

Time to do a clevis lift. On stock rims, 265/75-16s fit with no rub and no modifications other than a 3.5" lift. I have a feeling the tires I borrowed run a little small though... |

I was at 3 1/2". The front springs have sagged 1/2" after about 130,000 miles. It already has a clevis lift and top plate. Its time for a new lift period. Also there is a little difference between the KK and the KJ. |

I was curious, so I measured the actual size of my tires. I have *loads* of space in my wheel wells on level ground (however, I did cut my rockers out and have a slant at the 'head' of my rock rails. They are 235/85/16 Hankook RF10 ATM E-load. Unloaded (ie spare) is 31.5" actual. Sitting on the ground with Jeep weight on them, they are 30.5" (45 psi). How tall are the 265/75s mounted with weight on them? |

Depends a lot on manufacturer/ AT/ MUD etc they can vary quite a bit Plus wheel width also changes the height |

I have the same set up, but only got 3" out of it (assuming 19" showroom stock). tommudd wrote: Depends a lot on manufacturer/ AT/ MUD etc they can vary quite a bit Plus wheel width also changes the height Ah, thanks Tom. So, John, how big are yours measuring up? |

OK you have way less room in your wheel wells than me...I have LOADS of space. |

John...like I said, I think I have way more room...not sure what is different. We have basically the same set up don't we? I think you already have a bumper on, but that's it. This is a pic just after coming home from work on a normal day, normal pressure, etc.

This is a pic just after coming home from work on a normal day, normal pressure, etc.  The difference I see is the factory wheel which has different backspacing and a less agressive tire which is also narrower. All of those things combined makes the difference. Yours also looks higher than 22" from the side unless its just the angle. |
