Default Anybody running a 295/75/16

Looking at purchasing Hankook MTR's in a 295/75/16 and installing OME 2" lift.
I don't yet have the funding for both so I think I'm going to order the tires and then lift in a couple of weeks.

The tire measures out at 33.6" X 11.6" so I'm guessing basically a 34" tire

Anybody running a 33.5 - 34 with no lift?

me me me.... Hankook M/T RT03's in the 295/75R16 flavor. On Stock 16" wheels. AWESOME tires. I ran them for a bit without a lift (2 or 3 days) and there was some rubbing, but nothing too major. Although spacers may be something you should look into.

I'm currently running the 265/75's and they've been great. I just want a little more clearance and fill the fenders out for the 2" OME lift.
When/Where are you rubbing? Are you running stock wheels?

My air dam is long gone with the addition of my shrockworks midwidth. Is that the only place you're experiencing rub? and are you still on stock rims? with or without wheel spacers?

Got any pics?

Sorry bro... MMA class.

I am runnin' the stock 16's aluminium wheels with Spidertrax 1.5" spacers. I'm pretty sure thats the only place its rubbin'. I checked under there the other day and couldn't see anywhere else.

Thanks for the replies. So did you have the 1.75" coil spacers before putting the tires on?

I dont plan on wheelin' them till i get the lift, but would rather install the tires & lift seperately incase i run into any problems it'll be easier to narrow it down.

Actually man...sorry, but I think I had a set of Spidertrax installed before I got the 295's installed.... so the wheel spacers were on there, but not the coil spacers.

Actually that's good to know. I've got after market rims so the wheel spacers are of no concern. It was just the wheel well space and potential rubbing i was concerned with.

Thanks again
