Please let me know if you run this or similar on 8" wide wheels with stock suspension. Any rubbing issues without mods or lift?

Thank you in advance

I ran a 245/75/16 prior to my lift, and I had tons of rubbing. I had rubbing in the rear, actually dug groves into the side of my tire when wheel articulated downward. In the front, I had rubbing during turns where you pull in and out of parking spaces. Once it wears through the plastic it'll start rubbing on the Pinch weld, which will also leave some nice groves on the tire tread.


I'm sure theres a wheel & Tire combination with this size that will not have such effects as I did. Though, I didn't particularly mind it too much. Just chalked it up to a cost of having a non lifted rig with a larger tire then factory spec.

On stock wheels 245-70-16 are too wide. You will rub at full lock but barely. My 16x8 Cragars fixed that by pulling the wheels out a bit.

With a lift you can run the 245-75-16

I put 245/70R17 on stock ride height on my 2009 only rubbing is from rear passenger on the driver side which is sagging 3/4 of an inch which is one reason why I'm looking to get the ome lift to fix that. If your suspension isnt sagging you probably be fine at stock ride height. Sorry if the picture doesnt work.

What backspacing are you looking at, that makes a huge difference as well.
As far as wheel width, 7 inch wide works way better , if you want to have the tire/wheel sit out then 4 inches of backspacing ( will be same as stock backspacing and a 8 inch wheel
Some of these that say they run a larger tire can only be driven in town, no back country roads as the flares would be torn off
So depends on where you drive as well
