Question 3" Lift with 245's?

I have a '97 Supercap 2WD with 16 in rims and I put some 245 Michelin tires on it and they aren't ready for change but I want to put on a 3" body lift. I am wondering if it will still look good or will the tires be too small?

Ummmmm the tires will look too small. Go with something more along the line of 265-285. It will fill up the wheel well better and they will definitely fit.

Thumbs down

i've got a 2WD f-150 with a 4" lift, i just put some BFGoodrich 285/75/16 on wish i had got 295/75/16. I would say for certain that yours are going to look really small! before i got the 285/75 i had 265/75/16 and it looks rediculous! you could see all the crap in the wheel-well, definately get something around 285. BFGoodrich All Terrain KO is a great tire!
