Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

cameras are great guys, but remember this is the Lift and Tire thread, and nobody likes scrolling through pages of extra conversations just to find lifts and tires... Good lookin' runner tho ClockWork, great picturez
 
is there anybody running 18" wheels?? if so, im curious to what size tires you guys are using ... im getting a set of 18x9 for my rig and can't decide between 285/65 or 275/70 tires. the tire calculator shows they're roughly 1/2" difference in diameter and bout a 1/2" in width, which doesn't seem like a whole lot but im wondering if you can really tell the difference when looking at them ... and of course i will be applying a 3/2 lift ... requesting pics please.
 
I have the DS 2.5/1.5 and 265/65 18 BFG Rugged Terrain tires. I wanted to go with 275/65 18, but they only had that size in the 10 ply, which i didn't want. I am very pleased with this size.

there are a ton of 18" wheels throughout this thread. Get down and start digging through it, and good job if you've already done that! A 275/65/18 is going to fill the wheel wells very well with a 3/2. A 285 width will bring a little different dynamic, as they will most likely require a little trimming so as to keep the rubbing to a minimum. This thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/perfo...8-duratracs-enough-tire-3-2-cornfed-lift.html is a great testament to the 275s and 3/2. There are a ton of 3/2's running 285's all throughout this thread, so ya just gotta dig a little! Best of luck to u! :bigok:

lol ... ive clicked all over this thread far and wide, page after page ... unfortunately, i see a lot of guys running 17's wrapped in 285/70's. i found a white 4R back at pg 40 or so with stock 18's with 275/70's but have yet to find a pic of one on 285/65/18's

im trying to get a nice stance with a size close to a 33" tire... sorry if i am thread cluttering :(

Knightsfs4: Thats a good start ... i like!

I'm not sportin' these tires and wheels anymore but they're currently decorating my garage. These are Cooper Zeon LTZ 285/60/18's riding on ATX Artillery 18X9's. Here are some old pics of them.

Here is my co-workers rig. 2008 UrbanRunner, Burtman Ind 3/2, 275/70r18s Firestone Destination M/Ts, Bud-Built underbody skids w/diff protection, Surco roof rack and custom hacked front bumper by the man himself!

Any more pics of the bumper?
 
Just recently installed my suspension.
OME 885/895
Got a bit more lift in the front than I thought, maybe because I used 885 on a V6? I do like the look...a bit rougher than the XREAS.
