Got 265/75/16 tires installed today. Now just waiting on my lift.
ooooooooooo
I haven’t had the opportunity to flex it out but it didn’t rub on the way home. I might have to adjust the stops back out a little. In my driveway I turned them lock to lock and didn’t see any contact. I am waiting for my front level kit to come in. I have zero patience. Lol.
That is a Texas dealer plate. I can move that plate to any car or truck I drive. Is it legal on the Roxor? Probably not at this point. I put it on to drive it to the tire shop. As soon as I get my windshield and turn signals I will get it inspected, once that is done I should be able to get plates here.
Thank you sir. They do rub at full lock, of course I adjusted the the steering knuckles in when I first got it. I have crawled all over the front suspension and cannot find any rub marks on anything. I assume the tires are hitting the leaf springs. I did order the On The Rox lift. I am going to leave it alone until I get the lift on. Once it's installed I will be able to make final adjustments and add the front fender flares that will rub if installed at the moment. I did get the rear flares installed.
Thanks!
That has been my experience

Wow! They really fill in the wheel wells. Will you have to re-adjust the steering stops to prevent scrubbing?

I notice you have plates on it. Was it a lot of trouble to get them?

Any update on rubbing? Thinking of going with 235/85/r16, almost identical hight 31.7” vs your 31.6” 265/75/16 but without being any wider. Maintains the 9.3” width of the OEM tires. Often the width is what will cause rubbing over the height. The 235/85s and 255/85s are very popular on the toyota tacos as they get the height without lifting or rubbing. would be curios if the 255/85 would fit without a lift on the roxor. Its a 33” tall 10” wide tire?
So far I haven’t had much chance to drive it. Been working a ton and it has rained every day since I have put the tires on. I am waiting for a 2.5” level kit to come in. That will solve any rubbing issues. I drove it home from the tire shop and didn’t have any rubbing but that was just on the street. I will update once I get a chance to drive it more.
Here is a few pics of tire size difference between stock and 265/75/16

Doshounds,I’m digging the new tires. Have you had a chance to drive it anymore since putting them on or had any issues with it?The lift you have coming is that the one from On The Rox fabrication for like 500 and some bucks?

Check the left-hand sway bar that’s where mine were rubbing same size tires. I’ve ordered inch and a half spacers.

That is the tire size I want to try. You aren't using spacers and have no rubbing? If so, perfect! You get the height for trails and dont have to worry about spacers stressing things. I was thinking of that tire size and a rough cuntry lift, but sounds like a lift isn't really necessary, is that correct?
Thanks!
