hey everyone i am on a strict budget seeing that im only 17 yrs old but i love to 4 wheel my 94 track..i want to get a lift and some mud tires.  Im thinkin bout gettin 235 75 15 mud tires for dirt cheap and i wanted to get a set of 1 1/2 inch coil spacers from digger and the 2 inch body lift from RRO.  will this look and perform good.  Im goin wit the 235s cause bigger ones are just too much $ for me to afford and i was lookin around and i found that 235 75 15 tires are just a tiny bit smaller than 30 inch tires..is that true cause the tires i want are like 50 more bucks for 30 inch..just tell me wat you guys think..thanks

Sounds to me like you're working a good plan.  You can start with the 235/75 tires, they'll just clean off a little spot on the frame at full lock, even without the body lift.

30s are too big without putting more work/$ into it.  Stay as close to 29" as you can.

Hey, I'm 17 too. Right on! I have a 1.5" lift and 235/75R15 tires on my 4 door 97 and I think if you are going to put on the 1.5" lift and a 2" body lift, you should go for the bigger meats. Even with no body lift, I wish I had gone for a bit bigger than 235/75R15 (28.8 according to some online tire size converter) because it looks like I've got fairly good tire-to-fender clearance. Here's some pics to help out:





I would go for 30" tires if you do the body lift with the 1.5" coil spacers.

PS my 235's don't rub at all. That's why I decided on them instead of 30"...figured 30" would be just too much for 1.5" lift and I didn't want to trim at all.

Looks nice!

If money's an issue, though, do the same and go 29s (235/75).  Regretting that last inch isn't worth not having gas money to go wheeling.

thanks for the replies guys i think im gonna go with the coil and body lift wit the 235s. it might not sound good to some ppl but it should perform well.  also i found these tires they look good and for the price i might not be able to pass them up

personally, i wouldnt get the body lift until youre ready for bigger tires. that just seems like a lot of lift just for 235's.

Hi museboy7 

From my own personal experience I have found that you can get away with a surprisingly small tyre and really go places. The IFS of the Kicks give very good clearance with a relatively small lift, the rear is another kettle of fish though - the bigger the rubber out back the more air under your pumpkin 

Your plan is sound. You will not run into gearing issues with your decision, the drive train will take a thrashing all day and get home alive  .

My advice: Go for it and when you go wheeling think about the terrain ahead and take good lines. You do not have to conquer everything you come across to wheel - the best wheelers out there are the ones who tale good lines and preserve their rigs and this my freind is what you should aim for  .

Good luck and hap hap happy      wheeling.
