LT tire upgrade Cougar 327RES
Has anyone out there upgraded tires to LT on this fiver or a similar model? I.e. going from 235/80R16 to 235/85R16. Just want to make sure there would be no concern with distance between tires or tire...

When I changed my ST235/80R16's to LT's I went with 245/75R16's. They have a slightly wider tread but the diameter stayed the same.
Is a wider tread a good thing? I get a lot of scrubbing in the turns and especially when backing. Better braking-perhaps-but what about the suspension stress. Just saying ...
Likely a little better weight rating, but wider will equal greater rolling resistance. Likely the 10MM will not make any real difference.
