Largest Functional Tire Without Mods

[Baron von Teuchter]

I’ve had a few slow punctures in my stock BFG AT’s and am vaguely considering switching to MT’s, I have used Toyo Open Country MT on some other vehicles and they’re great. They do a 285x70r17 which I think will fit fine with no lift.

BFG MT I’ve found to be really noisy in the past but that was the old pattern and they seem to have changed quite a bit (and they were bloody expensive). Any other options?

285x75R17 is 33.8” by my sums and it seems that some people have run this size without any rubbing.

Ooof, 295/70/18 is a big tire for stock suspension. In normal cruising around town you may be ok depending on the offset and width of the wheel; but flexed off road it almost certainly will rub

I'm considering this size tire on 1.4" lift in the rear and 1.7" lift up front.
Do you think it would still rub? No special offset on the wheels, factory steelies

I think you should be fine with that set up with the lift, as it is narrower than a 35x12.5 (with very similar overall diameter)

I hear that the 35x12.5 rubs with this lift and I wanted to avoid that.
