33" TYRES!
tpk241:
I put 33x12.50x15 BFG muds on mine .. with:
D44 OME lift 2.5", chopped arches and xtra width flares, Offset mods + 30mm wheel spacers, Equippe rear cranked arms.
No prob's everyday drive, until I crashed it last week :oops:
Do find the gearing annoying on long drives, the 50mph - 85mph is a long haul. No prob's hitting 50 though :D
I did have to adjust the steering stop a bit as well on one side as i run a standard panhard which shifts my axle out a little.
beatmasterdave:
right NY4x4, thats spot on! that looks fat, but not over the top! excelent response guys, i think im guna work towards that size. only consern is the gearing, but i gues im guna have to wait and see :lol: nice one
barmiebrumie:
Got 33's on mine & yes it does affect the gearing a bit but I live with it, when I can get around to it I will change the transfer box :roll:
K-Robb:
I have 285/75/16's on mine with a 2" lift. and rangie spares arches.
they are about 34" tall and about 11" wide. Articulates nicely, but gearing is definately too high. If you change the transfer box your high ratio gearing will be reduced low stays the same which is not too much of problem unless you go in for rock crawling etc. on 33's wont be as bad but its certainly drivable. suck it and see. you can get the wheels on wsihout cutting the arches on a 2" lift but they will rub on uneven ground. Depending on what ofset wheels you get you will need spacers (get decent ones).
One thing i can absolutly guarentee whatever siae tyres you get in a few lonths they wont be big enough! My advice go as big as you dare!!!
John T:
I would recommend Straightforward supplies for wheels, plenty of offset = plenty of steering lock :wink:
