| Post subject: | Biggest tires for Liberty |
 Do you know which are the biggest tire I can put in a Liberty?
With 2.5" Frankenlift, 2" Wheel Spacers and just a minimum or any rubber contact I'm looking for a BFG Mud's or MTR, which is better? I used to have Mud's but I want some recomendation between both Thanks for the help |

235/85r16 Dayton Timberline MT's are 32" and require some trimming up front and the pinch weld flattened. I don't think you can go beyond a 32" tire. Stuffing in the rear is enough to pop your flares if you aren't careful. I prefer the narrow tire, as I get more downward force per square inch than with a wider tire. I guess it depends on what you plan to do with it (rock vs. mud). As for the tire, I think these Dayton MT's are every bit as good as MTRs with out the cost... |

I have 265/75 Cooper ATR and 2" spacers with a daystar lift (2002) and have no rubbing at all on the road.BUT when you try to stuff the rear off road it rubbs the outside of the rear finder well .the tire is to wide for the fenderwell I dont know about the 235/85 but it would have to be better with 2" spacers .TRY 235/85 with 1.5 spacers or 1.25 
It sounds like the fender is being torn off. I think I will go back to 245/75 and see if the spacers can stay on. |

I've got 265/75R16 Bridgestone Revos. They rub in the front while turning in reverse and can pop the flares in the rear while off-roading. Regardless, I don't think I'd go back to anything smaller than 32". I just need to pull the wheel well liners out and install some bump stops in the rear. You pretty much need to at least modify the wheel liners and install spacers if you want to run 32" tires. .jpg)

Hi guys thanks a lot for your comments I used to have 245/75 R16 BFG Mud Terrain on my old '04 with 2.5" lift but now with my new 05 I would like to know if I can get a bigger tire with some spacers Does this config sounds reasonable?? 255/70 R16 with 2" spacers? (same lift 2.5") Thanks for all your comments |

That should work fine. Just be prepared to do a small amount of wheel well liner trimming to reduce or even eliminate rubbing. |
