235/85/16's?

I found this guys jeep on cardomain he has some type of lift it doesn't say what kind but is running 235/85/16's and they look sweet anyone heard of this? thats his jeep

tall skinny tire, be ready to lose power and mileage though with that tall of a tire and do lots of cutting/trimming to make them fit

they look GREAT tho I love that look! this guy has a 4 cylinder and still claims to get around 18 in the city so idk

Definitely does look nice!

so four cylinder he started with 4.10 gears but 18 ???? depends on if you want looks or what performs best

well i really don't wheel enough to worry about performance and i definately won't be mudding so looks is what im aiming at since im sick of being told i drive a "****** wagon" lol i go to a redneck highschool with monster trucks and mud boggers so yeah lol

It's a CRD,hence the better mpg #'s.

haha, thats classic.

tall skinny tires are the way to go. I run 235 85 on my rover part of the time.

I was just looking at 235/85/R16's tonight.

Now that my Jeep is lifted, I'm going to start thinking about bigger tires. (heck, my girlfriend said my lift makes my Grabbers look, "wuss". lol)

I like the idea of the stock width tires, only taller. There is one guy running around town with a TJ. He has tall skinny tires on it and it looks good, not to mention more practical.

I see a lot of guys running around with wide tires that stick out past the flares and I think it looks rediculous.

What's a decent size tire?

So what size lift ? and modifications needed to run 235 85 16 ? Have daystart 2.5 new springs shocks and struts ?

^^^^^^^^
for 235-85-16 tires
4 inches of lift
regear to 4.10s
have fun and look cool

I wheeled with a guy running that size. Didnt seem to look that much different from mine with 245/75/16's. I'd run them if they were cheaper; cost a little more than 245's.

I had 235/85R16 on my CRD with 2.5" Frankenlift II. Although I do acknowledge that I didn't have bad-ass off-road parks to play in, I only had MOAB.

:icon_lol:
Could somebody confirm that a KJ can't wear anything else than 245 75 16 with a 2 inches lift?
my concern is that a friend of mine sales 235 85 16 and I'm interested to buy them. Does it fit or really not on my 2" lifted KJ?
Thanks.

I had 235/85R16 with a Frankenlift II. MOAB was my backyard.

What confirmation do you want? with 235-85-16 yes you need 4 inches of lift

Frankenlift II is only 2.5" and I actually took my KJ offroad; a lot.
Never installed a red powder-coated part either.











Just sayin'

Even on a CRD a Frankenlift is more than 2-2.5 inches
