Need help on Tires for CRD

fazzz28 · **Posted:** Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:25 am

If I go to 265/70/r16 will I have to regear or will it be ok. If I get brave and go to 265/75/r16 will this cause me to have to regear. Please someone with a CRD answer these question.

Can I just get a programmer to help ect...

(All basic mods are done)

Would like to thank everyone on here for all the great info. had know idea what I was getting into when I bought this but Im Loving It.

If you go 265's you may have a clearance issue in front. I went with 235/70/16's no issues.

Will I have that issue if I have a ARB bumper. I think that bumper gives more room up front.

You are lifted at least 2" right?

265/70-16 will work OK. 265/75 is a 32" tire and will be very tight. I would stick to 265/70 max myself.

I run Hankook dynapro atmrf 10s , 245 70 16. No lift. No rubbing. Fit like a glove .

stock 245/70/16 is common

with a OME type lift 245/75/16 or 265/70/16 are generally okay - probably have to bent a pinch weld

with OME+extra 265/75/16 is doable - expect work clearancing the wheel well liner

for gassers the regear at 265/75 is critical - not so much on CRD's - it does depend on how/where you drive - and whether you went with Load grade E or SL

(only a few of the folks running 235/85 or 265/75 have regeared - others are okay stock)

265/70/16 will work fine..I ran them when I bought my ride..and now have 225/70/16 which I like and rides alot smoother...

for stock (no Lift yet like me) 245/70R16 is great and looks good, fills the wheel wells nice and I have next to no rubbing at all. its a good size for stock and mine still have lots of tread so they are staying after the lift. when its time for new tires then I will go even bigger

I have just purchaced:

OME 790 (front springs)
OME 948 (rear springs)
RSX17505 (front strut)
RSX17004 (rear shock)
Top Strut Plate 3/8"
Rear Spacer 1.5" (instead of Isolators)
Clevis (front)
Rear bumpstops
Teraflex front bumpstops

So if anyone has this setup let me know what size tire you are running thanks.

I think if you install all that stuff, you'll be too high. I ordered that exact stuff almost for my front end, and with the 790 springs ALONE it's sitting at 22" and my A-arms are dagerously close to hitting the coils when drooped.

In my opinion, you'll want to get rid of the spacers front and rear and do coils only. You might need one extra pair of isolators for the rear to level it out...but yeh you really don't want to go too high especially with a CRD due to the different lengths of front CV shafts.
