been getting mixed comments by hunting back through the threads....please answer this :P

the rear tyres are almost gone, so it's time to save up for some new tyres...but which to pick...
stock is 245/70/16's (29")

245/75/16's (30")
265/75/16's (31")

will they fit on a stock jack with no rubbing?

-jackaroo, petrol, 3.5L, '98 standard track,

if they both fit, which would your preferences be? and why?

i understand that thinner tyres are better for on road, sand, mud and fuel consumption, whereas wider is better for rocks and aesthetics...

thanks for the reply, i am hoping that other jack owners can also post up their tyre sizes/brand to know exactly what fits, and their performance (the more the better, as it will make it easier for future searchers)

I have a 2001 Jack and I run 265/70R16 Maxxis with 16X8 mags and no rubbing at all.

My wheels and tyres "stick out" more than std, I even have the factory flares and still no contact between metal and rubber.

It does look awsome though, even if I say so myself.....

I can't make my pics small enough to put on here otherwise I would show you how it looks, I can send you a pic of it if you like.

I'm sure you will have no worries with tyres this size, also the 265/70R16 will fit on your std alloys.
