largest tire size with calmini 3" suspension lift
« on: July 24, 2010, 02:40:25 PM »
as the title says whats the biggest(or optimal) tire size to not rub at full lock and flex with just a 3" calmini suspension lift(no BL) on a track or kick???
and does anyone know what the ground clearance would be with that setup???
TIA for your replys

Skinny 32's like a 7.50-16 or a 235/85R16 but if you are willing to cut and hammer then ........

Don't forget that different rims will have an impact due to width and backspacing/offset.

A great way to get better fender clearence is doing the Hagen widening at both front and rear when putting in a new lift. It moves both front and rear wheels back to the center of the wheel well giving you more room for bigger tires. I'm running 32x11.50 with no fender trimming, and just a bit o rub at full stuff on the right rear fender inner lip. A little work with the channel locks took care of that.

w/o bumps stops these will jam in wheel well at full compression...preventing motion.
right, Mike?

OH Yeah! Don't forget the bumpstops! And a 32 or 33 10.50 would be better!
