This is the tire size I am planing to buy, seems to me it will fit no problem (I hope) but I dont see anyone runing this size.....why?

You dont look very hard do you? :lol:

Just messing with you. Thats what I am running now just to see how they do. I went with them due to no many running this size and with the 8 inch rims wanted a little more width . Plus this is about as tall as I want to go until I get 4.10s or so.

looks like your running about the same lift as me. Any rubbing issues? I did about a 1/4" clevis lift with my ome struts and springs. I have looked all over this board and havn't really found much as far as info on clearance issues with this tire size and a equal lift. Any info will help.........I can just hear my wife now, I told you those tires were going to be to big! :roll:

If you pounded down the pinch weld then you should be OK but then I have the ARB bumper which does away with all the rubbing if any in the front. Tires are about 2 or 3/10 of an inch shorter than a 245-75, what size wheels are you going to be running?

I want 255/70/16, I have 1 3/4" clearance to the pinch weld with my stock 235's right now

That is 255/70/16 on my stock renegade wheels

I ran the 245-70X16s on stock wheels and never pounded down the pinch weld at all, 255s will be about 6/10 of an inch taller , 1/2 inch or so wider so not really that much difference.

I put them on 3 weeks ago. OME lift plus clevis on stock sport 16's and I am miles away from the pinch weld, but there are other concerns. They rub at the back of the drivers side wheel well (unibody frame pinch weld) and they are really friggin close to the knuckle-UBJ-UCA. Actually they touch at full droop and full lock, but only on the tire that is turned out... I have als UCA on the way should fix it all...they look pretty badaz tho. i like them, and would do it again even with the issues...
