hey man congrats on getting a tracker, i have 97 geo tracker that ive slammed to the ground, and after joining this site i had to buy a 4x4, so i just picked an 95 suzuki sidekick 4dr 4x4. im planning on get the calmini 6" combo lift and ill probably run a 33/12.50 tire if it fits or ill run a 31/12.50. since im new to 4x4 stuff thats about all the info i have but this forum is awesome for info.

Welcome aboard tracker_guy
With the stock wheels you can go to a 225 or even a 235
With a 6"inch lift you can go to a 32 or even 33" with a little fender trimming.
A 31"inch tire is a good daily driving tire size.
If ya want ot do a budget lift or learn how to do it yourself
You can check out this site.

And has for back seats
Who really needs them? ;) ;D
I took them out of my 2dr and 4dr. ;D

these guys are right, instead of buying subs, get a nice new set of 31s and a 3 inch body lift (which you can do yourself), and 1" coil spacers (not hard to do)

That's a good tire, you can start with 235s with
no lift, or 30s with a suspension lift and trimming

A less expensive way to lift the suspension would
be to get a set of coil spacers from Digger, front and
rear, a set of Ford Crown Victoria shocks (rear 98)  for
the rear of your Tracker, and a pair of front extensions
that I'm working on right now, available in about 7-10
days, I can't remember what Digger gets for the spacers,
lets call it at $50, I think $50 for the Extensions and $40
for the shocks, so for about $150 you get a 2" suspension
lift, add tires and enjoy

As time and money permit add a rear locker and a body lift,
I would enjoy the trracker for a while, and as the tires wear
out, plan your body lift and replace the tires with 31s or 32s
along with the wheels with some more backspace, I would use
7" RockCrawlers, cool design, not too expensive (around $50ea)
and a backspace of 3" should work well with a 31 or 32 inch tire

ford t150 rims come in 8" wide, cheap rims but work for trackers.  You can put 32x10.5 on it easy.  Even the 7" wide one will work.  You can do your own homemade body lift for probably about 100 bucks.  just need some 3" square steel.  I ran 4"  in mine.  little excessive, but I ran 33x12.5s, as once I buy a set of tires, I dont want to get rid of them or buy tires only slightly bigger.

I have the 225 Dunlops on my Tracker with no lift, and no rubbing...   ...Wish I'd gone for the 235's...
