big 110 tire size

[Revor]

Hi,

Has anyone tried to fit a 315/75R16 tire on a 110?

I have been talking to BFG about a tire for the Baja 1000 race and they are recomending a Baja T/A tire, the smallest size in a R16 rim is the 315/75R16.

This tire seems a little big and i am wondering if anyone has tried running something simular on a 110 with about a 1" lift on it.

Thanks!

Ryan

Hi there, sounds like are you taking the 110 the the baja 1000. Let me know more please, thats amazinig. Cheers, Dan.

ps I haven't a clue regarding tire sizes!

That is around 35x12.5 Yes there are people with tires that large. It requires some trimming and adjustments for compression clearance.

It also will require a lot of upgrading to the axles to prevent breakage.

Seems a little big for a racing tire though. Great for technical off roading, but not for speed.

What is wrong with using a 15" rim?

I tried some 315's on my project 110 a year ago and they rubbed on the rear spring perch just sitting in the driveway!!!

The rear spring perch on a 110 is bigger than 90's, rr's and discos to accommodate the bigger springs.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the input. My decision just got made a whole lot easier as the tires seem to be all sold out and backordered through next year.

So I guess I am back to mud terain or all terain tires (for logistics reasons they must be BFG) which come in lots of sizes.

Well, you have to get rims with a smaller backspacing than stock and 8" wide as a minimum....
