i agree... largest tires you can! i'd go for 32x10.5's or 265/75's... those are about the same... and i'm not sure what the relation is to 255/70's but i think a 32x10.5 is the biggest it'll handle with trimming

how much rubbing do i get with 265/75's??

you'll have to hack down the pinch weld and trim the inner fender/bumper... the back will rub a VERY VERY little bit at full stuff.. it isnt enough for me even to trim it out in the back...

I hit my flairs a lot with mine. I'll be going a little smaller on the next set. I have taken off the front inner liner and cut and pounded the back part of the wheel well, at the bottom. It still hits a little in reverse. Running 265/75/16" with spacers.

PS: Sure does look good though! :lol:

make sure you smash the pinch weld right in front of the front doors in the wheel wells. and trim the bumper alot, that way you can fir some 31x11.50x15's on her.

I'm in the same boat. A little rubbing in reverse and only the right front and the rear at full stuff. I will probably be going back to smaller ones too when these wear out. I love the MT/R's off road, but they are loud on the pavement and I lost fuel mileage because of the weight.

Aww man, you drive a CRD. You get great mileage with the MTRs (compared to my gasser).
