Keep my wife involved? this is all her dream! Hoping to get the roof Rhino lined next week! Just met with a guy who can get the top sanded and repaired then sprayed! My dream has been the camper her dream has been the tow vehicle! We're only 34, but we've been together for 17 years! Hopeful for years of exploring with the kiddos

From what I gathered on da Google. If the spedo is reading 65 we would actually be going between 69-70 is that about right?

Looks great.
I'm about to pull the trigger on some 275/75/16 ko2's as well and am glad to see that these are fitting good.
In your other thread you said you'd gotten the 265/70/16 size though, can you confirm which size you actually got?

I'm putting them on my stock e250 cargo and pretty nervous about rubbing.

Thanks!

Okay just checked. And I'm sorry I messed that up. I have a stock e150 with the 8 lug wheels. I just looked and I have 265/75/r16. They are close but don't rub. Don't think you could go bigger without a lift

Thanks!

So no issues with rubbing when you turn tight either?
Any chance of getting a pic of the front tires with when turned so it shows how close it is?

I'm really excited to get my tires but been losing sleep worrying they won't fit!!🤘

Do happen to know what width wheel you have? I keep zooming in on your pics and it just looks amazing. Perfect fit

I'll look tomorrow and get you some better pictures. I'm not sure to how to tell the width of the rim. Also I installed the front fender flares this morning. It looks even better!

Partial turns was the closest. But no trimming and no rubbing on flat ground. But we don't do any off roading so I can't comment towards that side.
