larger size tires

doodlebugs-93 · Jan 6, 2023

hello, everyone, my name is Patrick Guffey, and I have a question, I'm thinking about going to a larger size tire to put on my 02 Eddie Bauer expedition, right now the factory-size tire
is 265/70/17 I want something a little larger to fill in the gap any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated on what larger size tire to get.

For some reason, I can’t see the picture of your truck. But there are a lot of chrome rims out there that don’t cost 2k.. Do you need that exact rim?

I run 295/75r16 BFG KO2s on my '98 with just a little rubbing on the front.

They still look small to me but overall I'm happy.

You can toss 315/70R17's (34") and they will clear and stuff pretty well.

Photo is many years old and she changed a bit since then.

What is the largest tire size that will fit under the truck in the carrier? The OEM tire diameter is about 31.5" is there any wiggle room? If not, where to you keep your spare tire?

Sounds like running 33" tires without a lift wouldn't be a problem with the body work. Are there any good videos of folks adjusting the torsion bars for a 2" lift? I have seen a lot of people talk about a 2" lift with a torsion bar adjustment in the front and spacers ini the back. would realy like to learn how to do that.

Here's a video of someone installing rear coil spacers and adjusting the torsion bar for increased lift in the front: https://youtu.be/amn_Rm35Spg?si=ZmnrtEdRwrNV3lYk
