Default Tire size question

came across a decent set of 265/75/16 on rims for short $$, wondering if this size will fit on a stock D1 with no lift or trimming ??

That is 2.6 inches taller than stock. If it does it would be very very close. I can't imagine being able to turn the wheel without something rubbing but I'll let someone else chime in.

when I first bought my 97 d1 I put an ome lift kit and went out and put 265 size tires,didn't work at all,rubbed when turning and hit inner wells,had to immediately take them down to 255/70 which I've been running since, I think for that size you need the lift plus some cutting maybe even a small body lift, look forward to hearing what you do

I have a set of cooper 245/70/R16 on my stock truck and they do rub on tight cornering on the inside of the tires. Got a good price on them so it is worth it to go easy on the sharp turning (like parallel parking and such)

Thanks, I thought as much. The dude selling them said they came off a stock D1 but I find that a little far-fetched
