245/75-16 on 3" lift?
I was wondering how a 245/75-16 would look on a 3" lift? The tire is .5" shorter than a 31" tire and not much skinnier. Has anyone run a tire this size?

The 235/70-16 shows to be 29" tall. A 245/75-16 shows 30.5" x 9.65". That's just a little smaller than a 31x10.50 tire. A 265/75-16 says its just shy of 32" tall.

it will look like this: (minus the cut fenders)
they are a small tire...
those are a 265/70r15 which is literally the same size as a 245/75r16

And...Technically a 31" tire will not measure 31". they will actually be 30.5 or so depending on the actual tire.
Don't be scared. 31's are a small tire. It will be ok, haha.

If you already have the 16" rim and like em, then the 245-75x16 will look great on your daily driver, my son in law runs that on the libby, will fit excellent with your 3" lift and no rub issues front or back. Where did the rims come from?

Cragar 8's sound great, the 8" will definately support your tire projection and even future options. I thnk even up to 11.5" tire widths without complications. I would suggest a lower than stock backspace (perhaps 3") so your 254's and possible futures widths won't rub your control arms up front at full lock. You get a little wider stance and won't need hub spacers. I am sure additional suggestions will keep comin.
