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. :twisted:

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.
