Do i fit 235/85 or 265/75? - can't decide...........

vtrdaz:
I'm in the market for a set of new tyres .
I'm going to change from the original grabbers which are 235/85 to BFG's , but i'm not sure which size to go for.
I know that they're both the same diameter but the 265 are wider - will this cause any problems off road with the wider tyre rubbing on wheel arches etc on full articulaton?
Also willanything else need to be altered if i fit the wider tyre?

Cheers

i run the 265/75 and have not had a problem with them. it rubs on turning circle, but so does the 235/85's so IMO go 265/75.
no probs with rubbing abart from as i said before the full lock.

Skibum346:
I'd suggest the narrower tyre 235/85 as narrower tyres tend to cut through the mud to solid ground where wider tyres have a tendancy to float on the mud.

That said not sure if the differenc betweeen these two is enough to see a significant difference.

Still... that would be my choice and reasoning.

265/75, they will look better. the difference between 235/85 and 265/75 isnt really gonna affect anything off road.

muddymesser:
265/75 will have more grip as they are wider so go for them
