tyres for jackaroo

[frp88]

my dad got a 2002 jackaroo they are 245/70/16 what is the biggest size that he can put on the truck is stock and would only get a little lift to help with pulling a c/van.any feedback is appreciated

hows it going, dont quote me but i got told plus read that 31/10.5 without lift, i mean im still getting told that with a 3' bodylift and a 3' shackle lift and the hd torsion bars cranked without mercy that i cant get 33s on it, sumthing to do with the rear tyres scrubbin on the inner against the chassie, but with wheel spacers to my understanding of them u may be able to go wider without lift. Mines a 87 jack, if u go into a search engine and instead of searchn for jackaroo, try izusu trooper, theres plenty of info on them plenty of pics out there to get the modifying spirit into u.

hey champ, he can go to a 245/75/16 for a legal increase, or 265/70/16 for a borderline, also he can fit up 265/75/16 for a 40mm approx lift, but these aren't legal until the new tyre code comes into play, they are however a legal fitment for the stock rims and fit real nice- no rubbing.

BUT i wouldnt go the biggest if fitted to a manual gearbox car for towing, as it overgears them a bit too much, its ok on an auto as the slip in the convertor eases the load.

hope this helps, Brad

I have 32x11.5x15 on my 03 Jack. With a 2" lift there is no rubbing. Stick outside the flares a little though. I had 245x75x16s on stock alloys but looked a bit under tyred.
