First of ... howdy all. I am picking up my "new to me" XJ Saturday and need your expertise.
My main purpose for the XJ is huting and wheeling. I do not want to use cutters or the "large adjustment tools".
I am wanting to add 3-4" of lift (RE or TF most likely). With this, i have searched and found tire sizes ranging from 31-33" with various forms of cutting. I will be sticking with 16" wheels (factory with spacers) so my choices are 265\70, 265\75 and 285's. Do you guys, the pros, consider both of the 265's 31's ? The 265\70's are 30.7" and the 265\75's are about 31.8". In an ideal world, I would really like to fit 265\75 Toyo M/Ts (31.8"x10.8").
So the question is, can I fit that tire with a 3.5" RE or 4" TF lift on factory wheels with a spacer without cutting metal ?
