Anyone running 245/70/19.5s on their gen 1?

Was not sure if the extra size would clear the fenders on a turn or if it would rub.

Thanks!

My 8r-19.5's are just as tall as the 245 but they are about and 1.5 inches narrower then the 245's they are a close fit but I don't think the 245's would fit on my truck with out rubbing, but I have old kind of worn out front springs.

Hmmmm. Interesting. I have considered 225/70s but I don't like the aspect ratio. They look too much like a rubber band around a rim. And the 8Rs may look too narrow on the crew.

So in theory, the crew cab has a 1.5" body lift and a 1" actual lift.....in theory I should JUST be ok. Thoughts? Where would yours hit if they were wider? The fender itself? The edge of the lip?

First off I was wrong the other day they are 7" wide on the road, they would hit on the rear outer edge of the fender opening my 8's barely clear the aluminum front plates for my running boards.

Gotcha. Thanks. I am following.

I will let everyone know how a 245 fits when they arrive.
