| Any of you running 315/75/16s? I was thinking about moving up to these when I purchase new tires, but was unsure of the fit. I have the BMC (thanks ASI), and have ICON 3" lift and LR UCAs.. I think the front should fit okay (I have 285/75/16 and have plenty of room on full articulation), but I'm a little concerned about the rear having some rubbing issues. | |

| They are 16", 8.5" depth steelies. No idea on the make/model, got them from my brother-in-law for free and have been using them ever since. | |

| Do you have spacers on to run them? There are very few 16" steelies (if any) that work without spacers.
If so, I would imagine the only real issue may be the rear when stuffed, but that can be trimmed a little I think.
isnt the size in question a 35x12.5? | |

| I don't have spacers in currently but it wouldn't be a problem to get some if necessary. The tires are just shy of 35", most around 34.5 | |

| FJ Darrell is running the 35x12.50 Nittos, which are bigger than the 315's. I think he has a little rubbing, but nothing that can't be fixed. He'll chime in I'm sure. Looks bad *** though Which tires are you looking at? | |

| I also dont think so. Since he hasnt chimed in yet, here is one of the most fender stuffed pics I took at Gulches last time. I dont recall any real rubbing out back. Only up front as he mentioned his BMC was not aggressive enough.

| Hey guys Sry, its taken me so long to chime in , work has been hectic . But to answer a few questions . .. No, I don't have a body lift yet, although it may be in my future ... I do get some rubbing in the front but that is to a well bmc, easily fixable just haven't gotten to it yet.. As far as the rear is concerned I haven't had any issues. And they do tuck quite nicely... I am interested to see how everything goes with the added weight of the wench and bumpers though.

| Thanks for the advice everyone. I went with tallywacker Cepek Crushers in the 315/75/16s ... as you guys said, no rubbing, even with all the added weight I have on them. They drive waaaay smoother than the Treadwright tires I had. I can't wait to try them off road. | |

| There is a good chance that next summer I will have 35s. I don't want to jinx it though. |

| I'm contemplating going up in lift and tire size now that I've got the power to move them... but my gas mileage is already horrible at best. I think that transition would require an auxilary tank as well haha | |
