Max Tire no lift (sorry!)

I just put a set of LT265/75 16 BFG AT's on my all original stock 96 E350. It has no rubbing issues at all. Their mounted on the stock Ford Alcoa wheels. Drives much better now than it did with the old 245's.

Nice meaty tires! Looks pretty good but the rear looks so "tucked" in. Is there a reason why you didn't go with more negative spacing?


Many manufacturers, I won't say all because I don't know, but many run a narrower track width in the rear because it keeps the rear end tracking on the outside of the turning radius. You end up with a bit sharper turning vehicle and you can usually turn around a given point without worrying about the rear end dragging across it. My description is pathetic and does a poor job of explaining, but suffice to say a slightly narrower rear end is generally a good thing.
