HI all

I have some 1/2 worn wrangler Muddies. 31.7" when new. probebly just 31 now. I am heading up the Pebbly beach on the week end and was going to fit these tyres on my spare rims. would they fit without doing the 2 inch lift?

cheers

they will fit, but are sure to rub, i have 31-10.5-15 wranglers, with cut guards/ flares and 2 inch susp lift and they rub when fully flexed, therfore stock hight they will no doubt rub

In goes the lift then.

I have 265/75R-16 all round without a lift kit and only the newer of the tyres (front left) rubs ever so slightly on the trailing arm. I did get a little bit of indication when flexing considerably on the Mundaring Powerlines (back right only) but other than that no problems.

Cheers,

Peter.

on the beach I'm not expecting much full flex.

Is this on a D1 or D2???

Is this on a D1 or D2???

I made the assumption it is a D2 as we are on the D2 pages, good question though??? ;)

Cheers,

if its rubbing, simply adjust the steering stops by putting a thin washer under them.

Good idea, will have a look when I get my left arm back (shoulder reconstruction), its only the left because it is a new tyre and the others are about half worn. Hopefully its not worn bushes.

I fitted my 265/75 R16 BFG mud terrains to my D2a with no lift the other weekend without a major issue.

The tyres are nearly new (maybe 1mm wear) and I have just the standard D2a bumper (earlier D2 standard bumpers may cause more rubbing).
I do have P38a 16X8 inch rims which may be a slightly different offset to the standard D2 rims.

I flexed the vehicle to its maximum articulation and the front tyre just rubbed on the plastic inner lining of the front mud guard. When I reversed in this configuration, the tyre lugs did start to catch a join in the front mudguard plastic inner lining. That was the only issue I found. I wouldn't have an issue puting them on again before the 50mm lift goes in, if i have to.

The 50mm lift will go in as soon as i get a chance.;)

[mattg]

no dramas.

Have put them on and only a slight rub on full lock. will lift shortly.

Cheers matt

G'day guys,
just wondering how much performance is lost with the bigger than average tyres on the V8? Do they help with economy on the open road? interested in doing this myself to a standard hight D2, do lots of towing though...
Cheers
