WAs that 245/75 or 245/78?
Yes, Shan, they will fit...just, but you ain't gonna use chains with
them, even skinny cables. No room for that.

Looks like this got separated, another email vs forum thing?
Yes Shan 245 fit, I believe Dan Gregg run them, BFG's. But he has a 3.55 FD to compensate. More load capacity for all those solar panels, batteries and radio gear.

I do like the oversized tires. I run them on every vehicle I own. There is not much room with 245's on the rears but I figure I don't need much room there, ha. I run tire monitors to make sure I don't run one low.
