Plan for my burban. small lift + wheels/tires

[Yaj Yak]

So after research and research and research. and winning an auction on ebay (for a set of wheels)... i have a plan.


basically this:

but my color of course...





ford torsion bar keys...


1.5" coil spacer for the rear...

big towing mirrors.

and these rims...

now to figure out tire sizing... and what to go with without braking the bank... wheels are 18x9.5.

deciding between (or open to other suggestions...

265/70/18

32.5x9ish

285/65/18

32.5x11.5ish


285/60/18


31.5x11.5ish


275/65/18

32.5x11ish

Go big or go home...?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

So how big are these bars and coil spacers gonna get you? I'd say whatever fits without rubbing. Whata the biggest you can go stock?

 

[Yaj Yak]

lift stuff should get it up about 1.5-2inches... might have to cut some of the back of the front bumper... with a bigger tire.

i dunno if i necessarily want to go the biggest because i am pretty suremy truck has something hilarious like 3.42 gears.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

I would go 285/60, the 325s are too wide imo. Gunna be hydro-planing and riding on top of the snow. Even my 285s aren't the greatest, but I would imagine a wider tire would be worse. What type of tire are you looking into? All-terrain, mud-terrain, or street?

 

[99PONTIACGP]

I like this idea.

Better go with an aggressive tread for those 325s.

 

[Yaj Yak]

loooking into allterrains- and i am thinking of 275/70/18s right now most likely... they are cheaper than the 285/60s and i like the idea of not being as wide for just what you said.

 

[Yaj Yak]

welp won a pair of new hankook dynapro atm's on ebay for cheap. super pumped

i went 275/65/18 which is like 32.2 tall... so yeah- im pumped. got a great deal on em. should work pretty well also- they get really good reviews everywhere.
