I have a set of Michelin LTX/AT 245/75-16s that I just took off my DII. They have plenty of life left, and I would like to use them on my 92 RR Classic, but it looks like they might rub. The air dam is still on the front, and it has a stock suspension. Has anyone run this size without a lift? Any thoughts appreciated. Bud | ||

you should be alright. there should be ne rubbing at all. unless you really compress the suspension off road. but if main use is highway then you should be fine. i had a set of 235 / 85 on our 92 and used it off road. there was no rubbing at all. now i have added ome lift. no complaints so far. check www.rangerovers.net or www.expeditionexchange.com | ||

Yeppers, by golly, they do. It took 3 tire shops to get it done though. The first two rolled the new tire up, held it against the old and said "No. It's bigger. Ain't gonna fit". So I did something radical. I took a tape measure and measured the tire and the opening, did a little math and covinced myself that it would. At the third shop, I offered to pay the expense of mounting two tires, just in case, to see what happened if it was actually on the vehicle. Of course, it worked, and now I ride just a little higher. It would have been worth the cost of the trial just to see the tire shop guys gawk at the lug nuts. The dude made 5 trips to the tool rack before he got a socket large enough. :>) Thanks for the input. ] Bud |
