93PathfinderWA Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hey i know everyone asks "which size tires can i run w/3 in lift" what i am wondering is if you can run 33s with only a 3 in lift if u trim the fenders or do u have to have more than 3 in. because if u can fit 31s stock it would make sense to be able to go more than 1 more in. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I am running 33x9.50 with a 3" SL and they dont rub at full turn..... I have not had the opportunity to do any flexing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bundyboy Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I have a 2"(50mm) body and suspension lift, rear springs have 1/2" spacers under them. I have done a little trimming on front and rea wheel arches to run snow chains and I run 33x10.5 BFG MT's. Rear diff 250mm off ground. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 You CAN run 33's with only a 3" suspension lift but they'll rub the fenders eventually. My 33x10.5's rubbed both front and rear before I trimmed more off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93PathfinderWA Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 that makes more sense thanks now that i have enough money for my lift i gotta save up for the tires. How exactly do u trim the fenders, do they have kits or do you just eyeball it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 No kit for trimming, just a 1 special tool, its called an eyemetrometer...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Yup all you'll need is a dremell or sawzall and a BFH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I used a 4" angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 (edited) I used a 4" angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. and you didnt get burn marks or skuffs? i would think a sawzall would work the best... -sam Edited July 16, 2006 by sammyb33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Id stick with 32's, and yes, an angle grinder rocks socks for trimming fenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93PathfinderWA Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 yah i am getting 33's from a friend for FREE because he is getting new tires. They dont have much tread left but free tires and wheels who can argue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I now have 33x12.5 they rub pretty good with the TM 4 inch lift and cranked torsion bars. I think I am gonna need a body lift now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I got to do a little flexing today... the only rubbing was on the rear mud flaps... None on the turning but thats primarily because they are only 9.50" wide.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
