D1 & 245 75 R16 tires

[Colin hughes]

Just sold my 2003 D2 with the 18" wheels and keep my 16" set. The tires are General Grabber AT2 - 245 75 R16. Will these fit on my new purchase, a 1997 D1 300TDi? Will there be any rubbing? Would adding a 1" lift help? Thanks. The tires are only 4 months old so if I could keep them and just sell the D2 rims, that would save the purchase of another set of tires. The tires that came with the truck look pretty lame and I doubt they'd do much off road.

tires will fit, rims won't...

tires will fit.. you may need new bumpstops.

I run 245 7516 on my D1 with stock springs and I didn't need new bumpstops. Everything clears at full flex. You will have to adjust the steering stops to eliminate rubbing on the front at full steering lock.

some need new bumpstops some dont.. mine did. rovers north and fourwheel parts carry the ones you need. there cheap..... if you need them.

let clarify if you keep stock wheels you will not need new bumpstops. if you run ar steel wheels you will need them.

How many hours is the labor for installing bumpstops?

Thanks

Why the hell would anyone need new bump stops for 245/75s? I've run both 255/70 and 235/85 with plenty of room.
