One thing to consider is the load rating, I know these are for your project(not a WH) but I'm beginning to think some of my ride related issues are due to high load rated tyres, been trying to find a size and load ratio balance on a 16 inch rim for the next phase of my ride recovery plan
They cleared everything with ease thank goodness. I also worried about the load rating and also the weight of the tyres. The worse are mud tyres even in the same size, brand and load rating! The Mickey Thompsons were available in a non LT version but would have to be special order from the US. In the end I was worried about too much sidewall bulge and staking risk on the lighter tyres.


Clearance to swaybar

Upper joint and frame.
