P38A 255/70R16 or 265/70R16

Anyone running either of these sizes on a p38?

Any clearance issues with the larger size?

I saw someone at the Landyzone meet using the larger tyres. They rub the wheelarch liner near full lock but you could always adjust the stops to stop that. means a smaller turning circle, of course.

Mine has 265/70x16 Michelin and they rub slightly on full lock.
But then I have a slight leak in FL airbag too.

Thanks for the reply. Have opted for some 255/70’s in the end, in an MT pattern. Looking at the makers specs there is actually only 1/2” different in height between these two sizes. But quite a big different in price per tyre.

The 255/70’s should be an inch taller than the stock tyres I’m running now.

I’ve also opted for a set of black modular 16” steel rims with an ET25 offset.

I'll keep an eye out for a MOnster Truck Rangie in the north of Bucks then!

Just need to get them mounted.

Although they are a fair chunk smaller than the 8.25's on my Series:
