BIGGEST TIRE SIZE FOR MY SUBTLE SOLUTIONS LIFT????

Post by wranglah »

Hi, I have an 04 Baja turbo and am going to order the Subtle Solutions (03-06) Baja - 1" Lift Kit and then am going to add some GENERAL GRABBER AT2 tires, but am not sure what the biggest size I could go up to with the Baja turbo springs/subtle solutions combo. Does anyone know what the biggest tire size in the General that I can put on without any rubbing? I would love to see some pics of this set-up if anyone has it.

thanks!

I am running 05 springs on my 03 and also have 1" strut spacers all around and have Grabber 215/65/R15 AT2s. This is about the largest we can go. Unfortunately, lifting our cars 2" does not mean we can simply add 2" taller tires. The limitation comes from the narrow wheel wells (in front of the tire and rear of the tire). There are some who run 215/70/R16, but I think some minor modifications that need to be made to the wheel well liner. There might be some minor rubbing at a full turn with this size. There is a guy around with some larger BFGs on his ride, but he has a 4" lift installed...

Peace!

No problem. Just noticed my typo. For clarification, I am definitely running 215/65/16s, not 15s. Sorry for any confusion, but it looks like you figured it out anyways! You will like the tires. Even though they are not bigger, the aggressive tread really helps the car looks tough...

Peace!

Had to do some cutting and hammering to get these tires to fit.

Love those wheels, it has sort of a late 80's rally car feel, very nice.

Snorkeled, how badly did it rub? Do you have a lift on yours?
