I have a D1. Before my lift, while wheeling, my 245/70/16 (stock d1's come with 235/70/16) would occasionaly rub in the back.

Does anyone have experience with this size tire on a D1 with a OME HD lift? I'm going camping this weekend and I am wondering if I need to scramble to hook up with a friend with a dremel and do a bit of cutting before then. I drove around at lunch looking for something to test on to no avail...

Thanks

I ran 245/75 for quite aq while. As little as they rub you could probably just snip a bit off of the folded edge of back of the rear tire well (that is at least where mine rubbed).

I let them rub, they only did it under a lot of compression, so it did not happen that much, depends on where you are going.

After a few years I got new bumpers and that whole area came off anyway.

Another alternative is to take snips and/or the dremel and an inverter with. When it rubs, get out, check it out and then snip it.
