Pinzgauer 710 / 712 biggest tire size: stock and lifted
The biggest tire owners run on a Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer 710 / 712 at every lift height, with the trimming it takes, the wheel specs you need and the lift kits that get you there.
About 33 inches. Portal Hub owners settle on 255/85R16 as the sweet spot, roughly the height of the original Maloyas (which they measure at about 245 mm wide), and 265/75R16 is close to stock size. 285/75R16 goes on but rubs at full lock, and one owner says Discount Tire stopped mounting that size on the narrow factory rims. Another owner's rule: 33s are the maximum 'unless you like wheel well rubbing on the right front side,' and 32s are the smallest worth running.
Biggest Pinzgauer 710 / 712 tire at every lift
| LIFT | BIGGEST TIRE | WHAT IT TAKES |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | 255/85R16 (about 33 in) | The Portal Hub sweet spot. 265/75R16 is about stock height; 285/75R16 fits but rubs at full lock, and owners call 33s the practical maximum before the right front rubs. |
| Stock, aftermarket wheels | 235/85R16–255/85R16 on 16 x 6.5 Ford Transit steel wheels | Tubeless with safety beads. Owners estimate the offset puts the tire about 15 mm further out than the stock rim, and Fat Fabrications' disc-brake kits use these wheels. |

Lift kits, wheels and tires for the Pinzgauer 710 / 712
US-spec Ford Transit 16 x 6.5 steel wheels bolt on, take tubeless tires and have safety beads. Owners put their offset about 15 mm further out than stock, and they need their own lug nuts. Bigger tires can also need a spare-wheel extender.
Forty-year-old shocks and rusty spring cups are standard. Gas shocks and aluminum upper cups fix both.
Fitment comes from owners and specialists; wheel width, offset, trimming and bump stops change what fits. Check clearance at full lock and full flex before you buy. Some links are affiliate links.
