Ideal Tyres to fit under a 2" lift

Postby bryne on Sat, 27 Oct 2012 8:00 +0000

so ive been doing alot of headbanging on my desk of late trying to figure out what im going to put under my hilux, i have come to the conclusion that im going to run Km2's, now im unsure of what size i want to fit, a 32x10.5x15 wheel would be nice but, of course they dont make this particular size, im going to be running a 2" OME lift. BF do make a 32x11.50x15 tyre, but would that fit? maby with an offset? some people have them but wont say that they scrub, others say they will, all a bit confusing.
the other result is to go to a LT265/75R16, which i believe is just below 32" and 10.5 wide?... and bang a 0 offset CSA ranger into it.
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, advise even so more!

vmn does a great body lift, fairly easy to install, cheap. the 33" no dramas, maxxis does some 31.8 15r.
alot of places say there tyre is a 33, 32 etc, but if you measure them they are smaller.

Dino from Climax said that 32x11.5 should fit comfortably with a 2" lift.

If you are looking to go new rims look for a P10 offset as this is a good compromise.

im running 285/75-16 (33") on 16x8" 0 offset with monster rides rekon kit and going by max's stock measurement of 500mm from flare to center of hub my kit is only set at 2" and before i put the extra wide flares it wasnt scrubbing anywhere after i trimmed a few things and folded the pinch weld ect. now its only just touching the back of the flare under compression at a certain angle but no big deal after market UCA's will fix the problem

2" lift = 32's
3" lift = 33's

note that 33's are usually a wider tyre thus requiring a different offset rim (0 to +10)

imo, stick to 32's. there is a lot less work involved

yeah i was more or less going to stick to the 32's anyway, to confusing just to get that extra inch. so hopefully it looks like i might be able to conjour up a set of 32x11.50x15 and now i just gotta find a rim to go, i reckon a CSA ranger would look pretty good.
thanks guys, if anyone still has any anwsers or tips keep em comming

so i think its just going to be easier if i get a set of Km2's in 265/75R16, what is going to be the best rim offset for these, im thinking about putting a 16x8 rim in them with either a CSA ranger or a ROH Black Trak

hmm, with 265 width, I would have thought stock rims (+30) would be fine???

From this website, http://www.xtremeterrain.com/tire-size- ... etric.aspx

It would seem your tyres are only 31.5 high" x 11.2" wide.....

I have 265/70/16 on +30 offset 16x 7 rims with 2" lift but rubs on sway bar on right side only at full lock slightly.

For those size tyres i'd recommend +20 offset with16x7 sweet as. But 265/75/16 i'd go +10 dunno for sure thou.
