The Black GV is running the Calmini lift + body lift + 31"s. I in the white GV has the same lift but with stock sized All Terrain tyres. Guess who won in the tug of war!  ;D


Assuming both have the same engine - the car with the "better" gearing - which would be the one with the smaller tires.

The black is the 1.6L with 5.125 diffs.. The white is the 2.0L with same diff gearing.

The answer..

It was a tie! We both just sat there digging epic holes in the sand.. lol

Diftoyota, do you get any rubbing with those tyres?

My 225/75R16s rubbed bad on both the front and rear body mouldings..

none besides the frame at full lock on the back side of the tire only,full flex in the rear no issue,the front is not lifted at all yet either. i know if you got remolds/recap tires they will be bigger than standard size by almost an inch, that's what the tire guy told me. do you have those on yours?

My tires are unmodified BFG 225/75r16s, they rubbing on the moulding directly behind the front tires (didn't notice any frame rub) and the mud guards in the rear..

I trimmed down the rear mud guards, still have to get the front end sorted out. FYI, I have on a 2" suspension lift and a 2" body lift.. and I still get rub..  ???

oh well, hold a vid..

your tires looks huge compared to mine, only thing i can see would be a diference in offset, mine the tires are still inside the wheel wells as yours are passing the lip.

I agree. I'm too afraid to try the lockright as I use my vehicle daily and the arb air locker is soo expensive.. Plus I will still need to find a sidekick 3rd member..
