tires,..lift??

[DeanCampbell]

i have a buddy who has some 33'' x-terrains for me that are 12.5'' wide, will i be able to fit these on with a 3'' body lift?? and will my rims be wide enough for these?? there stock 15'' on a 95 4x4

Well you have the stock 15x7s, I'd be a bit nervous about putting 12.5"s on that, I think 8.5 is the preferred rim width.

As for fitting the truck, the fitment guide says 2" suspension and 3" BL for 32" tires, so I'd guess that at least you will have some rub issues.

HAH! i have 13x10.5's and theres lots of room, sooo thanks for the rim answer

33X12.5 will rub i have 31x10.5 on my 97 and yeah they have room but when i am out on a trail and flexed and fully turning they hit the frame. and your 33s will just hit the frame driving around town.

Another guy, soon to be crying about the damage the tires did to his bodywork!!!!!! lol If you don't have the clearence...don't run the tires.....

Hell I say you buy and hang on to them. Eventually you will lift your truck and youll be glad you have them. Or put them on the truck, and just stay outta the grass. Turn easy and dont hit full lock. Crank your t bars. and get some explorer springs. Post pics.

i dont have t-bars, and i just got a job at fountain tire so i might be able to get a lift cheep enough.... explorer springs???

 

[straycat]

Yes, keep those meats....thay are so expensive to buy even used with lots of tread left!!! We all know this.....but make sure you can run that size so nothing breaks on 'ya!!!!!

You will need at least 8" rims technically you need 8.5". And you will either need to trim a lot of fender or get a 4" lift to go with you 3" BL.

Get coil spacers, exploder leaves and the 3in body lift... I would think that would work although I dont know someone correct me if im wrong

 

[DeanCampbell]

what about a 4'' suspension?

 

[DeanCampbell]

and will a 3'' body lift for a 99 ranger fit in my 95?

 

[DeanCampbell]

Plumcrazy-are you serious??? your telling me i need 7'' of lift to run 33's?? bahaha get serious! im goin with a 3'' body lift, and im not 4xin it's just road(98% of the time). and yes i will be cautious to wear they rub, probley gonna be on my traction bars but no big deal, i just wont turn that sharp and if i have to cut my bumper a lil bit then thats what ill do! haha ill post pics when im done! thanks guys

Get the body lift, and if needed get some leveling coils or make some steel spacers for under the front coils. You should be ok.

I would hope you don't need 7" of lift for 33's...lol.

I'm clearing 36's with 7ish " of lift on my 91......

Here 33's w/ a 6" lift. They come within a half inch when turning on level ground.
