Tire Size-up on Stock 2001 LC100 4700

[GiDesign]

Hello
I have a 2001 100 and currently running LT286/75R16's, totally stock / factory rims.
Wondering who has experience running LT315/75R16's
my wells look like they have so much room still.
With (at bare minimum) new rims what am i looking at in terms of rub and power loss etc?

Welcome. Do some searching, 315's require some mods and some recommended but not required changes too.

It's not only about the amount of space you have above the wheel that matters. Sooner or later you have to go right and left.

not to mention that at least with stock offset, you have very little clearance left with the upper spindle/ball joint. add on spacers or different wheel offset, you start introducing even more wheel well clearance issues when turning.

Forgetting everything about spacing, running is 315 on an 8" wheel is a bit much.
And this isn't just for us but on ALL cars/trucks.

If you want to go wider you have to get aftermarket "wider" wheels.

315/75’s, 3/4” spacers, hammer the pinch welds, extend bump stops.

Look for R17's. 16" shoes are getting harder to find (or so I've read).
