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 had the original 17" rims & tires on my 04 sport and upgraded to much bigger tires when the Dunflops finally went out (check sig) I belive tire calculator site quoted a 6.55% difference - I like 1010tires.com great calculator site.

I still have my stock rotors and pads at 54K and haven't noticed much if any of a difference in braking. I am sure many will say this is too much and I am thinking about upgrading just to stay within compliance but again no noticeable difference.

Good luck and be sure to post some pics when you finally get some!

265's is about as big as you can go stock

i have 285/70/17's and with a 2.5" spacer kit they rubbed like crazy so DEFF not gonna fit on stock suspension

additional 2" body lift gave me the clearence i needed :bigok:

if you do not lift it, stick with what you have! it's the best fitting size with your suspension.

I'm getting some TerraGrapplers when I need em!
