So my BDS 2 inch lift is finally done... i need some tires now.

my question now is what is the maximum amount of tires i could place under it wiht a 2 inch lift? as of right now i have 235/70/16... and i noticed that i am almost rubbing the uper a arm... if i went to a 245/70/16.. i shouldnt have a problem right?

245/75/16? i noticed alot of people are runniong this size.. but i do not know about it since i think the width of the tire may be to big. but then again i dont know.

For tires.. im looking at BFG's A/T... General Grabbers AT2 and Hankook rf10.... if i went 245/75/16.. def going with the good year duratracs...


any one have suggestions to the size of tires i should go to? i realize if i did go to a 245/75/16 i would have to pound the pinch weld and trim my bumper...


thanks-

Have you got an alignment done yet? Sometimes before an alignment the tire will set closer to the UCA. So just wondering. You should be able to run a 245-75-16 without too much problem

i have not done an alignment yet.. i was thinking that i only had a 2 inch lift.. not a 2.5 inch.. that was why i was looking at the 245/70/16.. i would like to go to the 245/75... but i dunno...

i should get an alignment.. but i have no vibrations at highway spped yet and my tires are alreay past the wear bars anyway. lol..... dangerous i kow... especially with the winter months coming up

Get an alignment as soon as possible! There is no way that you can be anywhere close at all. That will stand the tire up straighter and will not be as close to the UCA.
