285/75/16's on a stock 100

[Landpimp]

God I can't believe I am asking the most newbie question of all.................but I am

Any fitment issue running a 285/75/16 on a stock hieght 100 series? will they rub? front or rear?

Michael Adams, gave me his impression on them(he didnt mention rubbing)........but am looking to hear from a few others(not that I don't trust you Michael) I know on dads ford truck he went from a 275/70 to s 285/75 and has some rubbing on the front when at full turn

Prolly looking the BFG AT or the Bridgestone Revo.

Don't have a lick of trouble on 285/75's. Also, I can lower the suspension on the LX 2 inches for ease of ingress and egress (for my grandma ) and the tires STILL don't rub at full lock. I talked with Christo before purchasing and he seemed to think 295's would be the point where rubbing may occur.

Hey John, now your screen name comes to life. Pimp~100 series You should be able to run them without problem. You will notice the power loss and I have not figured the speedo correction yet.

and the 100 has the bling bling gold emblems : and damn it........they are growing on me

Power drop? dude......I have been driving f, 2f's and 3fe's for years...........notice the power loss in the 100?..........hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yep I am ordering up some 285's monday, Discount is giving me $250 for the non name new 275s that are on it now.......beats stackin em up in the yard

Don't you think the same spedo gear that works in the 80 would work in the 100, same trany(as latter 80's).....not sure if the t-case is the same. But really the speedo change doesn't worry me, I run oversized tires on all my Cruisers..........but sure if the speedo can be corrected........then thats cool

John

Don't suppose anyone has pics of 285's on a stock 100?

No pics on a stock 100. Which tires did you choose and did you order four plus a spare?

I havn't yet(been busyish), was gonna do the BFG's, a spare?...........I am too cheap to buy a matching spare actaully I think I have a used 285 off of the old mans ford I can run.
