No. You will need a lift before fitting 245/75/16's.

I didn't try to put my tires on first so I can't say for sure but ... with as little clearance as I have now, I would imagine that you would have to put on the lift first. If I was in same position, I would get the tires and stick them in my garage until I had the lift and get it all done at once. Just my $.02

Have them test fit them if you can. I am going to say, yes you can fit them.

You will probably rub when you turn the wheel alot, and you will not flex well without major rub, but just driving on the road it probably will be fine until you get your lift.

245/70/16 fit fine without lift & 245/75/16 isn't THAT much bigger.

Get them test fit and drive around the block.

So Mark were are you getting your tires at in S.A.? are you getting a good deal? I want to put revos on mine, so I'am looking for a good deal too..I live in Kerrville. Have you checked out our lonestar L.O.S.T. web site? Here is the web site. www.lonestarlost.com

Got my 245/75/16s BFG AT KO and installed them without a lift. No rubbing at all on pavement. Went offroad and rubbing was NOTICEABLE.

Now I got my Daystar 2.5" lift, and everything's great again. First few pictures of the link below, show tires installed without the lift. Last few pictures show tires with lift installed.

5 revos for $270 from firesstone today around 4pm, and just bought 2.5 rusty left kit yesterday, so i should be rocking next week

5 Revo's for $270?

Typo? Used? Is the sales manager on drugs? How can I get my local Firestone guys to take the same drugs?

Do explain.

Oh wait....you said "firesstone", not "Firestone"....must be a special promo from a new company..... :-)r

I always knew Dallas was full of cokeheads, but I didn't think any KJ owners...uhm...nevermind.

Seriously, dubya-tee-ef mate?

Which Firestone? And who was the salesman? Got a phone number or address? are you sure $270.00 for 5 revos? ok the jokes over how much did you really pay?

Nope. Just while doing minor flexing, but nothing at all on pavement.

Got the tire's! I just so happen to be in the right place and right time. this guy had these tires on his trooper just under 2weeks. and was upgrading to 265 or larger. So they were 4 in great condition tires and 1 brand new one. and yes $270 carry out.

I thought mine was a deal when I bought 4 of them for just over $600 including mounting and balancing. Wow, yours was a sweeeet deal.

Since you already got the lift, put that on first then the tires. I have the 245/75/16 Revos without a lift. I do get minor rubbing (at full lock). I am still in the process of getting the RRO Combo Kit.

Good Luck.

Cool, I can never be in the right place at the right time.
