fenders and tires

[hainesdawg]

I've been thinking about cutting the fenders on my '92 loyale wagon to make room for bigger wheels and tires and i have several questions about this. For the wheels, i've been thinking about using ones off a toyota and doing altering the studs in order the fit the toyota's pattern. Are there any problems with strength to do this? Also when i put the tires on, I'll need to cut the fenders to fit larger tires. What problems may i run into while doing this. Will it cause water leaks? Finally how big of tires can i fit without causing them to rub? Any information will be helpful. Thanks

Search the offroad forum, its all been covered there.

 

There is a lift kit available, about 3 people make them, also in the Offroad forum.

depends how much u wanna cut, i know Zap fit like 28's on a non lifted hatch. With quit a bit of cutting, u could probably run 26's or so. Lifting is the best way to go though, then u could run 29's, but i wouldnt go anybigger than that. not that they wouldnt fit, just ur gearing would be way off. and another thing, when u go up to the bigger tires, take note that ur speedo is gona be off by a few mph. Now for the 6 lug swap, i dont think u'll have to worry about strength.. are u going to drill the holes urself? or are u going to take it to a machine shop? well anyway, good luck.

About the worst cutting your fenders can do is make them rust faster. Make sure you give the cut areas a re paint or cover them up with rubber and use a little grease to stop the rust.
