Looking at 33" or 35" tires. Will they fit on a 2.5" lift?
« on: November 30, 2014, 03:30:59 pm »
I think the 33's will fit fine, but I wouldn't mind going a little bigger. I have 16x8" rims and I'm looking at 315/75 or 305/70. Would I have to do any other mods with either tire (gearing, etc.)? Its a 79 K10. Thanks.

I put a set of 35x12.50R16.5 tires mounted on 16.5" x 9.25" rims on my M1028 (K30) with a 2" lift and they did not clear the front fenders when turning.

Stock lift here. No rubbing on 33x12.5 on 15x10 wheels. only a liiitttle when i'm flexing quite a bit with the wheel turned. Even then, not bad. I had 35s and i just rubbed when turning.

Also, true diameter varies. I.e. a General grabber 35" is a true 35.0". I also had a yohokama geolander mt and its true diameter was 34.4". May not seem like much, but it might be the difference of a little rub on turns or not.
