Who Owns This Rig (Outback)? What size tires? (1 Viewer)

I'm currently the poster-child for what you're not supposed to do when installing 315s on an 80 series.

Oh really

 

[NorCalDoug]

Ahhh
Definitely not you then!
You going this year? We should be there! This time in my 80

Yes, planning on being there. Too much fun to not attend
I'll be renting one of those trailers this time around though. Tent + lots of sand + wind + 2 kids + cold nights = not cool.

Those look like 285's to me. That's my truck in the background of post 3 & 4 (black speck) at Surf N' Turf...here's a link to my truck with the 285's....2.5" OME Heavies and MTR's. I love the 285's for now but may go slightly larger next time...

Looking good!

That is the 285 MTR's with the OME 850/863 combo?? If so, i think that is what i am going to run!

Do you have anymore pics?

Thanks

 

[Grizzley]

Thanks. Yep, 850/863 w/ 20mm spacers up front. Damage multipliers removed since photo was taken....saving some cash for the slidage...

I've been running that exact setup for 5 years. Back then it was common knowledge that it wouldn't work and a very bad idea. Back on the Acme board the only real size upgrade was 285s, everything else was not possible and I was sure to rub constantly and do severe damage to the truck.

Funny what a few years and couple of loose cannons can do to common knowledge.

Very Sharp Looking Truck! I think i will go this route!

Its amazing the price difference in a 1" skinnier tire!

How much rubbing ya got with 35's and 2.5" lift? Extended bumpstops?

I ran 315 MTRs with the 2.5" OME + 20mm packers in front for over a year. Only rubbing was on the frame rail on the rear. Smooth surface, so all it did was rub the paint off the frame rail. Quick shot of Rustoleum after each trail ride took care of that.

What do the new MTR's look like and when are they going to be coming out? hmmm funny that goodyear finely has a good tire and they are so quick to mess with it.

Back on the Acme board

Wow, there's a blast from the past.

Mangler,
The rig was AMMO's which was line-Xed both inside and out. I believe I picked up an 18pack for you guys on a beer run the 2nd night. We'll hopefully be there this year.
