Fitting 33'' tyre thread.

[KTM525EXC]

ok, well im attempting to fit a set of 285/75/16s BFG KM2s on a 2" susp 2" body lift, am i the only one who has attempted to fit these with a 2" susp lift? ive already pre trimmed the guards but thats not really what im worried about, im more worried that ill put the wheels on at the shop and they hit the body mount and i cant even drive the thing home! , but at home is where the body mount trim will take place, wish me luck

2+2 should be fine alot of ppl only have 3" where you have 4"

[Sr5luxy]

yes but your body mount doesnt raise with a body lift, only a suspension lift will raise ur body mount, and thats the thing im worried about, just if toyota built out trucks with the body mount 1-2" back wouldnt have this trouble.

[KTM525EXC]

Yes that is correct but unless you have a very rough drive from the tyre place I can't see it being a issue.

Just drive accordingly until you get it home and do some flex tests

To be honest, Id be getting a set of stockies for the drive home.....if the alignment aint dont right you may still rub round a corner......dont wanna risk damaging new tyres.....get the tyres mounted on rims and throw them in the tub....fit them to the vehicle yourself later.

[Hilux Max]

Ive got 33's fitted with 2" suspension and 2" body lift, slightly different size tyre, 305/70/16. I wouldnt be putting them on until after you trim the body mount. I couldnt help myself and bolted them up straight away to see how they looked. Then drove it over to my workshop to trim the mounts which is only a few turns away but each corner was about a 5 point turn because I could barely steer it, couldnt just let it rub as it would have ripped the tyre to shreds.

but when u trim the body mount..u only get like .5 of an inch, i dont see how it helps all that much lol

[Hilux Max]

That half inch is worth an inch mate....the difference between rub and not rub under suspension compression and wheels turned....work/not work.....

if the tyres are too big and trimming is too much of an effort stay on 32's......its not for everyone.

[Sr5luxy]

no the trimming will be simple, (im a builder so i have every tool known to man) just cant see how ill rub really badly, then trim .5 of an inch and everything is fine..o well ill guess ill wait and see

[Sr5luxy]

Alright guys got my new muddies 285/75/16 BFG KM2's on 16x8 black steely with 0" offset, Very happy with them, 2" suspension lift with a 2" body lift and ive got a tiny rub on the body mount, However thats all trimmed up now so we are sailing smooth only sits about 20mm out of guards if that.





Will take more photos when its day time, and ill take some of the body mount trim too.
