Need some help choosing sizes (1 Viewer)

[troutbum]

I just got the family land cruiser after having an old mercedes and then a 72 C10 which both have left me stranded at least 3 times in 2 months. I was gonna buy LC from my dad before I go to college but he went ahead and let me have it because I needed something more reliable.

Right now it has Michelin LTX tires on the rear with about 20% tread left and fairly new Open Countrys on the front. Theyre both P275/70R16. I wanted to switch to 285s with BFG ATs and eventually put on new shocks and springs within a year that would lift it. Would that size rub with the stock height? Im not sure how funky it would look as far as proportations.

Thanks,

Miles.

Forgot to mention its a 97 FZJ80.

285/75-16 tires will fit on yopur stock rig with no rubbing.

You're welcome!

This isn't a great shot, but here's my buddy's bone stock 80 with 285/75-16 Goodyear Duratracs on stock wheels:

That looks great. I'll stick with that size and maybe get the General Grabbers at2. Thank you so much! The picture helped a bunch.

I think this one may also fit your ride as well 285/76-17 . .

What? I've got 16s.

I am not a fan of general tires, I've had bad luck with them.

 

[troutbum]

What do you not like about them? I just like the price compared to the bfg all terrains.

Horrible tread life, and I had 3 out of the 4 I bought seperate. 3 blowouts going down the highway. Leaves a bad taste......

What back spacing do you recommend on a fj62?
