315/75/16 KM2 - possible w/o rubbing?

Sure. May need a wheel spacer to clear the UCA depending on what brand you run. May have to do the pinch weld mod.

But honestly if you think your LX rides firm on the Michelins - putting a bigger, heavier, stiffer, more aggressive tread tire on there is really going to exacerbate the problem.

Larger tires = acceleration, braking, steering will all change for the worse. Is it worth it? To me it is

Thanks for letting me know. How do I figure out what spacer I need? I have a Tundra iForce motor in my LX and it has some pep. Discount tire has a 30 day return policy. I am debating between KM3 and KO2. I have KO2s on my 200 LC and love them. Most likely sticking to KO2.

@Reckless Here's a good example:

2" Slee lift and no spacers 315 ko2
For Sale - Turn Key 1999 Expedition Build with 106,000 miles, triple locked and loaded

This same member tried to run general grabber at2 in the 315 size on this sane rig and the UCA gouged the sidewall requiring spacers.

The 315 ko2s cleared fine without - so spacers are not always needed. He is an active member with multiple land cruisers under his belt. He would be a great resource to reach out to.

Fwiw: Sometimes discount tire can be hestitant to mount oversized tires

Do your homework and Good luck: Ymmv

Btw: it's likely your old man emu shocks that are causing the stiff ride. A lot of discussion regarding that up here.

I have a 99 LX 470 with BFB AT 305/70/16 and in normal height (ahc) I get no rubbing. I know you're looking for 315's but some are saying 285 is the largest and I'm running 305's with no issues.

305/70s are smaller in diameter than 285/75s They are a little wider but shorter. That’s why they don’t rub. Good tire size choice for sure.
