01silvapathy Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Okay so the last around 10 times I have been on this forum in this section I have seen probably 3 or 4 seperate topics reguarding tire size and what to go with based off of how much lift you get ect ect. I have had alot of different wheel and tire setups along with around 4 years in the wheel and tire industry working at Discount Tire, a Wheel Repair Specialist and my current sales manager posistion at a Corporate Goodyear Store. I think I can explain pretty well what you need for a few different setups and how it will look or workout for you. Heres how its going to work, im going to post my past setups from stock to mild to wild and tell you how it fit and how it worked out. There is going to be a certain format for this. I would love for members to start posting all the info they have to get a database of sorts going but lets leave out the major discussions and just have this be information. Thanks! Lift Size And Brand (AC, OME, SFD or Combo?) Wheel Size (diam, width,offset/backspace) - Backspace and offset very important to determine the strut clearance Wheel Spacer (yes or no? Size?) - Dont want to buy new wheels buy a set of spacers for 100-200 bucks Tire Brand (obvious) - BFG, Pro Comp, Nitto, Mickey Thompson, whoever.....also important....the BFG At's in a 35x12.5 dont have a massive sidebiter and will fit with little offset...vs a Mud Grappler same size which has a sidebiter that sticks out 3/4 of an inch making the tire wider and requiring more offset or backspace. Tire Size (Overall Diameter, Overall Width) - Metric or Standard Clearance Issues ( Did you rub or have to trim plastic/metal....to what extent?)

B I can't vouch for the tri-stars, but my original pre face life SE wheels have a 6" backspacing. Stupid, i know... -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
