Tire Size

[jspagna1]

I have a 97 T4R with stock suspension. I have the stock 16" rims on it. I am currently running a 265/75/16. Should I replace with the same size or here are the other sizes I was considering:

265/75/16
275/70/16
285/70/16
285/75/16 (rubbing issues?)

Bottom line is when you go to these tire calculator sites they say stay within the 3% diameter difference or may have brake failure.
With what I'm running now I'm at 3.29%. Reading post on this, how crazy can you go size wise on a stock rim?
Thanks guys.

P.S. Oh ya, pick a size.

I don't have a great answer but I'd read some 3rd gen posts on anything and read some sigs. See if you can't get a feel for what others have done. If it were mine I'd probably stay with the 265/75's or get the 275/70's depending on what I wanted to do...

285's are cool but they're heavy and you'll pay a real price in fuel and power.

Good luck!

FWIW...I put some 265/70/17 Nitto Terragrapplers on my with 3rd gen and FJ Cruiser wheels. Looks great and no rubbling.
