As the title says, looking to see how this size tire looks on moabs. As much as I'd love to just get 245/75, I just bought the 245/70 so no dice. Thanks to anyone who can help.

At this rate I'll have them mounted before anyone posts. :lol:

Cruise some of Tom Mudds posts of pics, I think at one time he had that tire size on.

I never had any 245-70s on my MOABS, sorry, had them on stock wheels
only had 245-75s, 255-70s, 265-70s and now 265-75s on the MOAB's :BANANA:

I like different tires every 6 months :ROTFL:

You change tires more than I change underwear... :SOMBRERO:

JeepJeepster has 245/70's on Moabs according to his sig on JKJ.

245/75/R16 is the best I can do, but they will be close

How far do they come out on the side? Are they flush with the end of the flare? Rubbing issues?

I'll try and help you out some, not sure if this will help but ??????????????
now never had 245-70s on MOABs, but did have 255-70s , not much difference with wise, height more so
not the best but maybe will help

WITH 265-70's ON BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW THE WHEEL SITS IN THE WHEELWELL

TALLER TIRE ( 265-75) BUT YOU CAN AGAIN SEE HOW THE 8 INCH WDE MOAB SITS OUT TO THE FLAIR EDGE

NOW FOR A LESSON ON WHEEL WIDTH, TIRE SIZE AND HOW IT EFFECTS WHEN OFF ROAD AND STUFFING THE TIRE; STOCK WHEEL WITH 245-70-VS-8 INCH WIDE MOAB WITH 265-75

Minor Rubbing on the pinch weld plastic cover (Not the metal weld itself). They are flush with the flare but do not hit the fenders (with bump stops) when flexed.

Cool thank you.

Pic in sig, no lift. Pinch welds pounded. Minor rubbing, but been working great for about 25k miles now.

Finally! Regardless I'm picking a set up on Sunday (hopefully), but it's good to see what's in store.
