I have eyeballed a set of 295 50 20's which look like a pretty tight squeeze, can anyone tell me if this size is likely to fit without a lift? I can get a set of these pretty cheap.
current size 275 45-20 Overall Diameter: 29.74 in
possible size 295 50-20 Overall Diameter: 31.61 in
Also where is the first place I am likely to experience rub?
Cheers

No, and no 12 volt compressor will be able to seat the bead.

I find myself kicking it a little to the driver's side to keep it from fouling the spring hanger or whatever you call it on the passenger side. The other thing I find is that it sits on the diff if I wind it up in my garage which has a slope. If I do it on flat ground it sits a bit better.
I suppose the other thing to consider is actually strapping it a bit further back with something else. A couple of ratchet straps or something might get you a better position if you could do it properly.
Probably easier to put a little extra bend in the tail pipe though.

They are a Canadian brand and seem to get a lot of use on the big SUV's/trucks they get over there.
I can get their "Terra Trac a/t" in 265/70R16 for $185 f&b each. Seems cheap, maybe worth a try or maybe worth spending a bit more on another brand.....
