Largest tire size that can be used on a M37, M43 with stock suspension? I have heard that a 1100 X 16 can be used without vehicle suspension modification.

Can anyone tell me who has used larger tires on their M37 and M43.

Many thanks for any reply.

I have 11.00 R16 Michelin XZL tires on my M37. My suspension is completely stock and I get no rubbing anywhere through the range of motion of the steering system or when operating in my woods.

I've seen pictures of where someone had mounted Michelin 325/85 R16 tires (similar OD but bit wider than the 11.00 R16). I've heard they are very close to rubbing - to the point where someone removed a grease zerk or something similar and capped the opening to provide a bit more clearance.
