LOST JEEPS :: View topic - sorry for asking again

Don't think rub will be the problem, well it will , flexing will unless you install enough bumpstops, my 265-70s on Moabs are tight when I flex out esp. in the rear. What size are you running on the Moabs now?
Also its going to kill you power wise in the hills down there

Now they are 245 75 16 I don't like the way 245 75s look on the moabs. They look to rounded on the sidewalls that could just be to cheap tire i have IDK.
I was thinking 255 70 16 km2s or 265 70 16 cooper stt.
I wanted to run 265 75 16 so i can run any tire i like the choices are unlimited.
do you think 255 70 16 is the best choice for my lift and moabs? ( I think there is more then one choice in this size also I don't remember)

I like my 245/75's but they hurt my MPG you really need 4.10s for 245/75 Im happy with them and wouldnt want any bigger unless I had the correct gear with the hills we have in KS

I dont remember the hills in Ks.( im guessing you are near the flint hills :lol:

) but here in WV i got some. :lol:

the 255 70 16 should be the same on my MPGs as the 245s. Im getting 13-14 now with load E 245 75 16s so yea 4.10s would be nice but if i did I would want a locker to go in at the same time. It will be a while til that kind of money is coming in.

yeah you should be fine the only thing I could think of is BS, you might have some rub at full lock, what BS are your moabs? do you have wheel spacers?
