If anyone is running a 2" lift and either 29" or 30" tires, I would really appreciate some pics

Cheers :D

Trying not to go off topic
But why lift if running stock tyres
You'll gain no clearance where it's needed
farting is alot like jxxxxxg off. both provide instant gratification, but neither is a long term solution to the actual problem......................

It's only an inch, but I know what you mean. Since building the ute up I've gone from doing a fair bit of 4x4, to more heavy towing, so I think I would benefit more from running standard ratios than the extra clearance

I do agree, hence why lift, yes upgrade the suspenshion to suit your needs
But spend it where it will save you
My 09 sr5 use to pull a tri axel trailer with 4-4400l (55-5800kg gross) of salt water 10-15% of its entire life
Stock ratio and tyre size but modified rear springs, car sat flat no sag with 250-270kg ball weight

Planning on upgrading my stock suspension in my 2011 SR 2WD Toyota Hilux 3.0D with this new suspension kit:

Can anyone provide advice on what size wheels I can upgrade to (width + diameter) without causing any big problems, vehicle specs below:

Any help much appreciated!

You can fit around 30in tyres but you need to check you local regulations to see if this is legal. Here is an example:

I might be wrong.

2009 BMW X5 - destroyed by a hail storm
2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 - SOLD

And what about max tyre width?
I'll check TAS regs and also that's a great thread, foundry_man had gone a bit hush though :(

7 to 8in wide rims is pretty standard for 265 width tyres.

Excellent,

if I'm upgrading from my stock 15" x 6" rims to a 7" or 8" will I need to upgrade the rims with a different offset to the stock? These are the stamps on my current stock rims:

I'm unfamiliar with the stamping, what is the stock offset on these rims?

in addition wheel size.com says the following:

ET45 = 45mm possitive offset?
