...clean, timeless, lightweight, and go with a 100 series perfectly. A year ago I ordered them and got shipped within one week. I’m running 315/75r16 KO2’s and I can honestly say this combo (other than a slight rubber gearing ratio) feels awesome on a daily driven 1999. Worth the wait as long...
...mostly went according to plan, although I did have to argue a bit, as the tire guys were convinced the new ones wouldn't fit. I went with 315/75r16 Yokohama Geolandar M/Ts, based on quite a few friends' good experiences with them.
I'd already got my Spidertrax spacers swapped over from...
I tried to put my spare in the stock location again. It hits both the panhard bar and the ARB rear bumper. The ARB bar sticks further inwards than the last frame cross member. Looks like the spare is riding on the swing out.
I know I ma replying more than a year later, but I did finally try to fit my 295-70-18 (only 34.3") tire in the spare and it wouldn't fit. Any chance you might be willing to share what, if any, modifications were required? Any pics of the spare?
running that size same coopers as you. happy w. highway/offroad performance. a member of my club runs these on his 80...ran the wagon rubbicon and raves about them. american made to boot!
Couple of things. I had 295/75/16 on my 100 when I bought it. They looked good and I thought they were a great size. I ran them for a few months and decided to go down to 285/75/16. The difference looks wise was not drastic, but the 100 drove better. The steering was lighter and the transmission...
Mathematically a 285/75 is 32.8" tall and a 255/85 is 33.1" tall. Half of that would be your height gain, 0.15". Even if your current tires spec shorter than 32.8" and the 255's spec taller than 33.1" you will not get a noticeable gain in height.
If you want taller tires on 16" rims you're...
...heavily upgraded (at least it's further than I would have personally gone with a build). The unit needed tires right away so I went with 315/75R16 Nitto Ridge Grappler 10-plys. I'm on a 2" lift with Old Man Emu suspension and AHC of course deleted. Extremely small amounts of rubbing (tires...
Checked the springs today and they are OME 860X. I did some research and those appear to be rated for extra weight. Maybe I'll just have to get a reach bumper with a swing arm haha!
Checked this too and i'm at ~22.5" (front) & ~22.5" (rear), so it would appear that I need to reduce the front...
...with the P/N? thatll give you an idea of whether theyre rated for extra weight or stock weight. Report back on that. you can certainly run 315/75R16 if that is the size you want, no need to size down unless thats what you prefer. It might reduce wear on other components with smaller tires. If...
