33's without the Body Mount Chop

Which UCAs can push out 4-5 degrees? I always read people getting 3 maybe 4 degrees, but I always figured more was better in this case.

I may or may not do a bmc after my lift and 33s, but I always figured enough caster along with 0 offset wheels would be plenty to avoid it.

SPC adjustable UCAs should be able to.
 
Saw this a while ago and saved it to my notes for reference, hope this helps.


“Thanks to gaterose for providing the following information.
What does it take to fit x tire with x lift?
Front/Rear Lift Tire Size

Stock -
265/65R17
265/70R17* (except BFG A/T)

1/0
265/70R17* (31.6x10.4)
255/75R17 (32 x 10)

2/1
265/70R17
255/75R17

3/2
275/70R17 (32.2 x 10.8)
285/70R17† (32.6 x 11.2)
255/80R17* (33 x 10)

3/2 + 1-1.5" Body Lift
255/85R17† (34 x 10)
285/70R17†
305/65R17† (32.6 x 12)

* requires removal of mud flaps and probably minor trimming
† requires trimming and may require body mount chop (click here for details on body mount chop), upper control arms, and/or increased backspacing.

Add 5 to the middle number for 16" wheels, subtract 5 for 18" wheels (265/75R16=265/70R17=265/65R18)

The above assumes you're using stock wheels and no wheel spacers. Aftermarket wheels or wheel spacers will increase rubbing, more trimming will need to be done in order to fit the listed lift height.”
 
It’s possible I am currently running 285-70-17 Falken Wildpeak AT tires on ET 0 4.75 BS wheel with 3” icon lift with SPC UCA’s without a BMC. Just had to trim fender liner.

255/75/17 Kumho AT51 here on FJ wheels (15mm offset) and 2" lift = almost no rubbing except reverse full lock on one side...
 
I am literally telling you I ran 255/80/17s (a 33.1x 10.2 inch tire) for over 4 years with no body mount chop and no rub. I mapped the Red Clay Rally 2 of those years, and it wasn't until I went with a 285/75/17 that I required a BMC.

Also, you can't just say "285s aren't 33s, they're slightly smaller" I don't believe you are understanding how tires are measured because 285/75/17 is a 34x 11.1 inch tire.

So yes, you CAN run "33s" with the correct wheel offset, lift and ucas and a little know how. I aND many others are testament to this.

I cleared 33s easily running a Dobinsons MRR lift, no sway bar, ICON UCAS and a caster adjustment as far forward as possible. (Usually 4 to 5 degrees forward).

Nothing else required. 34s are when it becomes required.

33's must be 12.5 inches wide or they are not 33's. What is so hard to understand about that concept? If they are not 12.5 inches wide they are "weenie european range rover pizza cutter tires" which is what you have. Also, 285's are STILL not 33's and you yourself mentioned that they rub and they are not even big enough to call 33's yet.

That's just ****ing stupid. Pizza cutter width or 12.5 width, they are both 33" tall, therefore 33s. Where do you get the idea they "have" to be 12.5?? Just because it's your concept doesn't make it fact. Get over yourself with that bullshit.

Pizza cutter 33s probably wouldn't need a BMC with the right wheel offset and might be the better option for anyone not wanting to do one. To each their own.

I got Pizza cutters 33" no bmc. It's like saying that if Ferrari is not red then its not Ferrari, or like someone i knew that used to say that if you turbo your golf and its not 20pounds of boost don't tell anyone that it is boosted. :)

Its not my concept. Its been that way since off road tires were invented Mr. "xtreme wheeler"...lol! You simply cannot buy a 33.153x10.324x17 tire anywhere.

Its what keeps people from being confused. As an "xtreme wheeler" you should know that already. Oh wait, you have a rooftop tent - you should change your handle to "xtreme overlander"...:lol:

No it isn't. Its like having a ferrari with a 4 cylinder engine, which makes it not a ferrari even though from the outside it appears to be one. Or having a 4runner with a chevy motor - not a 4runner anymore even though it appears to be one from the outside. Same concept.

If measuring tape is at 33" .......it's a f..ing 33", X10 or by 12.5 has nothing to do with hight of a tire. The size you describing is a simply a start point for a truck/tractor tire from when you and me weren't born yet. Simple as that.

Dude, I've been wheeling since you were in diapers. And unlike you, I actually use the shit that I have, like that tent. Oh, I see you have one too in your profile... Who's the "overlander poser" here, you whiny little ****. Nor am I dumb enough to drown an engine in "1' of water".

There are all sorts of metric equivalents of 33" and larger tires. Do some research and actually learn something instead of having it spoon fed to you.

yep, your right. A 33.5 isn't 33, its a "metric equivalent" which isn't exactly equal. Thanks for proving my point.

No metric equivalent is exactly equivalent to an ASE size...duh. If you don't agree with that incredibly logical statement you should sell your toyota and join the other retards in the domestic truck forums. There are 3 choices by the way.

I don't have a roof top tent, my friend does. Also, I wheel a full exo SAS 4runner that I haven't posted pics of in this particular forum. And the water was exactly 1' deep, the wheels were just dug in.

Thank you for showing everyone that you truly are a poser.

I think you are grasping for straws by jumping from one statement to another here. Are you some new weird kind of mellenial that hates metric over SAE or just enjoy stirring the pot for no reason. It did make a thread a bit more alive sure.

Don't even bother any more. He's not gunna get it and everyone will be wrong and a poser to him since he wheels a "full exo 4runner" and has excuses or answers to everything. He's an interwebs jeanyus that know's all and will always be right.
 
duffdog seems like the type of person that cant hold a job because they cant get along with anyone. lil bit mental or crossed up to see the bigger picture or get along

i remember seeing a thread where he kept referencing the rubicon trail and people were just like stfu haha

he might be an excellent troll or actually difficult
 
what thread is that? I have actually been on that trail in real life. Have you?

i saw it randomly and only remember how foolish you sounded to everyone else...it was like a train-wreck i couldnt turn away from when i was researching something different
 
Holy cow, I walked away for a week and come back to a flame war xD

Anyway, I'm currently looking at a 265/75/18 Falken Wildpeak LT which to be precise, is a 32.9 x 10.5 tire. 255/80/17 is what I will be doing I think if I end up replacing the stock wheels.

Wide tires have their place, but for a lot of what I do, the skinny tire is gonna work just as well. Just wish I could fit 16" wheels on a limited so I had more sidewall... Oh well.
