Looking at some B'stone D693's
265/75R16 $215
275/70R16 $225
265/70R16 $259!
Perth $

any trouble in fitting any of these to the Jack.
It doesn't sag at all and is not raised. Normal!
245/70R16 are the norm.

75% Bit 15-20% sand 5-10% gravel

Hi Wolf,

265/75R16 I think is fairly close to a 32" tyre which is what I have. Mine do rub even with the 2" lift but really only because of the wide offset of my wider 8" rims. If you are using your 7" rims and a narrower tyre it may be ok but I dont know for sure as I have never tried that combo. Maybe you can ask the tyre shop to fit a couple of options and see what fits...

You have an OME suspension lift though dont you Gazza?

Wolf, I know that the 245/75R16 does fit without any lift because thats what was I had on my Jack when I bought it pre lift. Is suspension lift out of the question at this stage or are you gonna do something later?

I ran 265 /75/16 before I got ome suspension on the standard jackaroo offset rims. It rubbed slightly on the sway bar on the front on full lock but its no problem and no problems on the back. my 32/ 11.5 bfg`s do rub on the front, because of the offset ,even with ome lift

The ome don’t give any lift on the front and only 25mm on the back. So up when the torsion bars and now I have Dobson 80mm spring lift on the back.

Ended up getting 265/70R16 in the
Bridgestone new style A/T's called 694's
which replace the 693's.
Did Kalbarri, soft sand some mud along the Murchison
and some rock work too, inland and coastal.
Bloody beautiful. Stood up to the rough and soft stuff.

Size is spot on no rubbing and fills the wheel arch nicely.
