gwilson87 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I haven't been able to find anything about what tires/wheels people are running with their lifts or no lift at all. Thus being the case, I want to know. What tires/wheels are people running with how much lift? I'm currently stock with some toyota 4runner 15x7 wheels sitting in the wings till the next paycheck comes in. Thinking of running General Grabber AT2's in a 205/75R15. What do you all got?

nipper Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have a 2" plus lift on Blu, but run stock tires. Due to the rear suspension geometry, the higher the lift, the closer the rear tire arcs towards the body, so my options are limited. That and I really havent found a need to go to a bigger tire and throw off my spedo for such little gain. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of such, I was wondering what you use behind the fender to roll the cuts..? I'd like to do the same. Pics maybe? -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Im running 31-10.50 R15 Maxxis BigHorns on 15x7 Toyota wheels with a 6-ish inch lift. Power is a bit lacking in the top-end, but it still gets up to 80 at see level. A little big for crawling, but man I can go over things I did a good bit of cutting and bashing in the front, really only needed to do some hammer work in the back but I got crazy with the sawzall instead... Bad Idea. -Bill Edited August 6, 2009 by The Beast I Drive added picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamCF Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 205/75/14 About 26.1" tall AT tires. (there are companies that still make 'em small, just gotta special order) Pugs with no lift on a 1983 GL. Minor trimming just to be safe. Taken it out a couple times so far with no rubbing. Not exactly what you are thinking but since you asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics maybe? -Tom I cut about 1/2" long, then used a combo of small vise grip clamps to start the bend and a 3# hammer to finish. Without starting the bend first, the metal will bend wherever it wants to, if you just start hammering. Really, it just takes practice...my first fender isn't as nice as the rest. All look pretty good, from more of a distance: No pics of the rear/rear, covered up nicely with the stock mudflaps. And yes, I know...they still need paint. I'm the real pic whore, Bill!!!

TheLoyale Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Oh ok, yes I know about the metel going where it wants with out a first bend to help it along. Hmm, I'll have that sometime (See what I can do) Thanks! -Tom:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesstutrey Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 How about 215/70R16s with a 2" lift on a 2002 OBW.. seem doable without trimming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
