Help me decide

[mx3_ryder]

I'm going to purchase a set of cooper discoverer at3 tires but undecided on size. Thought maybe since I'm not doing a mud terrain tire I might go up to 265/70/16 or should I go with a 245/75/16? Also my original plan was cragar soft 8's but am now looking to purchase d windows instead. What do you all think on tire size and which wheel, soft 8 or d window in a 16x7 of course.

do you have a lift on or just stock height?

 

[mx3_ryder]

3 inch OME/Bilstein lift
22 inches center of hub to bottom of flare on all four corners

Basically the same height, 70 series just a bit wider is all
either would work well
Check ply rating on both first

Both are 4 ply

Been looking at the AT3s and the AT/Ws in the Cooper line up

Do all the d window wheels have blue and red stripe? That might be a deal breaker for me as I want an all black wheel.

Depends on brand

Depends on brand

CRAGAR? What other brands offer d window wheels same size and backspace?

Black Rock, maybe? Only thing is it looks like their D windows only come in a 4" backspacing. Wonder if that would cause issues. Likely would stick the tires out too far.

Height would be good I run those tires on what i believe is stock, (I bought it this way) and has no rub.

 

[mx3_ryder]

Just noticed summit racing includes center caps as well as free shipping and no oversized fees making it the best price I've found around.

What size tire you running? Should post some pics. Not sure if your stock, measure from center of hub to bottom of flare and tell us what ya got. 19 inches is stock height .

When lifted ......7 inch wide and 4 inches of backspacing works great
sits the tire right out to the edge of the flares
that size wheel, 245-75-16s and good to go on a lifted KJ
later on regear
that size wheel would look like this on the outside ( flare) , these are 8 inch wide 5 inches of back spacing but come out the same amount

Summit is great to deal with

4 inch backspacing is great with 7 inch wide wheel

Thanks for the clarification. I thought it was 4.5" for some reason.
