I didn't read real carefully (tired of tire threads) but I saw it mentioned just once and it bears repeating. The wider the tire the worse your already pathetic turning radius. If you off-road in the desert or similar wide open areas, it won't matter, but for some parts of the country it's a hindrance.
This is what reverse is for
There was a tire fitting guide somewhere online but I think the link is dead now. Somebody with enough knowledge should redo it and post. It had tire sizes from smallest to largest and the modifications needed, if any, to fit them. It also highlighted which size tires were recommended for each size lift like 2" or 3".
And what I meant was I'd like it to not look like I have puny **** tires in my wheel well because I lifted my Rover. I don't want to super stuff them either. I just want bigger tires that also help me off road and doesn't completely kill my pathetic gas Milage as it already is 11 mpg..
Any larger-than-stock tire will kill your already pathetic gas mileage. So if it's all about looks get used to shelling out cash. I use my 235/85s for crawling and all sorts of trails, they would be fine for huge sections of Moab. Nothing like Jake's 35s but he's put a lot more time and money into his truck than I have.
Here's the stance with 235/85s, mild camel cut, and a 2" lift. This was before my new bumper:
I swear we've been over this before, you still haven't bought your tires?
