I just ordered my frankenlift from alljs and am shopping for wheels and tires to go with it. All the wheels I like are 16x8 with 4.5" back spacing. I really want to run the 265/75/16. I don't mind cutting the inner fenders and pinch welds. Jeep is a 2005 crd used for daily driving and some off road planning on ouray co and Moab trips in fall. I have seen a couple libs running pro comp wheels w the same specs but all are running 245/75/16. Will my tire wheel combo not work? Or what will it take to work. Thanks in advance

I doubt you will get that to work on a CRD. The driver side CV shaft is shorter than on a gasser making CV angles severe with enough lift to clear the 265 tires.

If you can figure it out with out blowing CV joints, all the power to you.

So no clevis lift and isolator? I thought it was ok as long as down travel was limited with a strap? So best bet is the 245/75/16 still trying to learn thanks

they will fit.. it will require a lot of trimming in the front bumper.. and pounding the crap outta the pinch welds. but they will clear.

Do you have the clevis lift also or just plain franky lift?

I run a upper plate and 3 ring clevis on the front of my CRD...but the ARB bumper and Warn winch work as a limiting strap by weighting down the front so much :)
I am running a 245-75-16 and it works great.
