315x75x16 on 79 Series ute, what mods needed

[wal4x4]

HI all, Can I fit 315x75x16 mud tyres on a 79 series ute, I have 105 series steel rims. Not sure what mods I need to do to get them to fit e.g. 2" suspension lift and/or body life etc. ? Any clues.

Cheers Wally

A mate is running 35x12.5R16 creepies on 16x10s with a 3" suspension lift. Just did some minor trimming of the front mud flaps, but other than that, no rubbing.

Best pic I have of it.



Video might show you better.

The people at the local 4x4 shop said i should be able to fit 35"s with a OME 2" lift as they have done it to there company truck and it works fine.. thats on the 2002 model cruiser aswell.

twisty what brand lift did you mate get in his truck? and what offset on the rims is he running?
cheers

They would fit much nicer with a 5" lift Scotty...

He's running the " 3" Superior Tough Dog Stage 3 " off this link.

Quote from him "Only really need to trim the inside of mud flap for half to full lock turns with the 35s."

Offset on the 16x10's was the largest he could get.

I'm running 315s on my 79 with the yota 100series steelies, 2" lift
Fronts fine as I turfed the mud flaps and back rubs under articulation tyres on chassis but no biggie

[wal4x4]

Thanks GO79 that's good to know, I'm looking into a 2" lift now. Do have any pix of your truck?

Thanks mate. Wally

I'll get some pics ,
A mate with same 79 and same lift and size tyres but the rims are custom 16x10 with a dirty offset and because the wheels hang out so far it makes when turning the tyres foul on the lower of the fender( near the bit were the mudlfap would go) a bit when off road ,
Need to push the front diff forward to make big offset rims work good .
The yota rims are great for 315s
Most people think mine are 285s untill they read the tyre size.
When I dropt the ute of for new treads a while ago they rang me back and said am I sure want that size , YES was my answer , picked the ute up and they said how surprised they are at how good the 315s fit the 79 cruiser

Sounds good. Looking forward to those pIcs. I have 100 series rims on mine I really like those.
