245/75 or 265/75 - Land Rovers Only

ebrover · 03-30-2008, 09:49 PM

Quick question to those with D1's. Going to buy new tires tomorrow and would like to know what you all think... I have been running BFG LT 245/75R16's for over two years and have had no issues. I was thinking of getting LT 265/75R16's for the larger size. Will I have any issues with the larger size tire? I have a three inch overall lift and rubbing should not be an issue... If so I shall cut away! My main concern was drivetrain, additional wear, etc..

...you'll be fine, go for it...Only issue may be turning radius, might have to adjust steering stops.

with a 3" lift you'll be fine. Like nickyill said, the only issue is you'll loose some of your turning radius.
