If I took my spacers off they'd set in more.

 

Exactly - If you remove a 1.5" spacer for example, that ADD'S 1.5" of BS, and tucks the tire in tighter by 1.5".

 

If you are reading this thread and want a tire size that you don't see manufactures offering please send me a PM with the size and why you want it.

EX: "I live in Maine and there is a law that says I can't lift my jeep more than 2" and I also can't have a tire that is more than 2" taller than the original. I want to keep my stock wheels and so width can become an issue. Because I live in Maine and drive in the snow and want a tire that will work well for me all year a tall and narrow tire would fit my needs. Something like a 34x10.50-17 or a 34x11-17 would be ideal for me."

I have forwarded this thread to a few guys in our tire department and they wanted to know specifics. There seems to be quite a few of you wanting different tall and narrow tires for different applications and wheel sizes.

Thank you for your help, together we will do our best to improve products for the Jeep community.

 

Land rovers now use fat tires.



The old ones used skinny tires, as was avail. back in the old days.

 

Now that's some service....

 

based on a stock rubicon in mass. you can go 2" on the susp. and 2" on the tire. as far as enforcement i know four local cops and one trooper they all tell me they don't go looking for it but if the body is above the top on the tires they will give tickets. if the inspection guy is a d-head he can fail you and have the law on his side.

 

In NJ, they have a total lift limit based on the GVWR....IIRC, for a Jeep, its roughly 4", and that INCLUDES BOTH lift and tires (Frame height from ground, compared to "Stock".

A heavier rig might be allowed 7" total, etc.

 

But that was back when Land Rovers were used for safaris and offroading.
They have been mostly relegated to suburbanite status symbols now. (and style > substance in suburbia)

 

funny I've been searching all day for the Ma law on tires lift's etc. I'm putting in a 2.5" so I guess I have to hope I go down a 1/2 inch when I add the heavier front bumper. I will go too 33" because it's hard to find a 34"

 

No, that was when they only had skinny tires for off roading...they used the fattest available there at the time.

Model T's, etc, always had skinny tires...but larger diameter. Not because the skinny tires worked well, they got stuck constantly. My Dad HAD a Model T (Yes, I'm old...).
