33" TYRES!

<< < (4/12) > >>

beatmasterdave:
cheers! glad to hear it isnt going to be as bad as i thought. i asked about 35inch tyres and that requires more work. im definatly getting a 2 inch lift. if my truck's gearing dosnt get along with the tyres, should i go after the defender 300tdi transfer box? and will that be a straight swap without modifying brackets and stuff?

Budgie:
You want a 1.4:1 ratio transfer box or you can keep the 1.2:1 transfer box and change both axle diffs for 4.1:1, this has the added advantage of altering both high & low ratio where as changing the transfer box only alters the high range (low range is the same on all LT230's).

CNorman:
I think about 33's on mine however it is a 5 door.

Is it realy possible?

Budgie:
Yes it's possible, it just mean a little more work when cutting the arches at the rear as you have to cut into the rear doors.

bullfrog:
I am doing this to mine. I have 10x15 rims with massive offset (they stick out 4" !!!!!Good though as they dont rub on radius arms and I have factory lock or better. Getting the ROCCIA arches as tehy are wider and made well .
33"s will affect gearing so DO bear this in mind . You are welcome to pop down and we could chuck mine on yours at least for you to drive for 10 mins. I have a section of dual carriageway near so you could try 5th ???
