Going to pay my friend at the tire wholesaler a visit this summer... hopefully i'll be sitting on 35's for around $50 a tire... but its nothing set in stone. anyone have a problem fitting 35's with just a 2" body lift and 1" suspension? i think at worst i'll have to shave off one side of the wheel wells
It depends on the width of the tyre and the offset of the rim. To maintain your turning circle and to increase stability, you need to increase the offset of the rims. This then pushes the tyre outside the current limits of the body. Therefore, if you still want you wheels to move up and down, you will need to cut a fair bit off the wheel arches and get flares. If you put in a bigger spring lift and put in really stiff springs, you may get away will a smaller cut. But basically the cut is slightly bigger than the ridge that you have going around your wheel arches. You have to cut the rear doors as well.
