Default How wide can I go?

How wide can a clear on my 00 D. right now I have the stock 235/75/15 but I wanted to put 265/75/15 on so I have a little more rubber on the road. Will I have and clearance issues of any kind or what?

well a 265/75/R15 is basically the same thing as a 31x10.50R15 which i am running right now with no clearance issues at all. the only thing that comes to mind is your speedometer will be off a bit. be best to check it and see if anyone you know can recalibrate it to the new tire size using a programmer.

you can go here http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.aspto compares sizes. diamaters. etc

I wouldn't imagine width would affect the speedo just height. I'd say as long as you stick with 32's then you'd be good to go and I've heard of some D's that were stock with 265's.

I have 275/70/16 and have slight rubbing at full lock when making a u-turn. The tires only rub the front frame, so when I make a u-turn I don't go full lock.
