Hello all,

Gotta get new tires for my g20 soon. Im currently running 225/75/15s. I definitely wanna get something bigger, it feels like its on bike tires with the standard size. Im looking at 265/75/15 and im happy with the size but im worried they may rub because of their width. Im sure there is enough space in the wheel well for them vertically and horizontally. I ordered 1" wide wheel adapters today as well thinking that may help. Anyone have the same size and or bigger? Thoughts opinions?

Thanks

I'm running 31 - 10.5 - 15 LTs on stock rally wheels like in roadrunners photo above. Only rub on tight turns when on irregular/rough back country roads. Goes down the highway nice and smooth.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Definitely make me feel better. I have a buddy that has a shop and he said he will throw one on and give it a turn to see if there is any serious rubbing.

Spacers on the ft end is not a wise choice ... Get the right rims with correct offset.
