lift and tires

[90scman]

Well i know that their is a lot of threads about lift and tires out there(i have read quite a few) but i haven't been able to track down the answer im looking for. Im going to lift my 08 sr5 with the bilstines 5100 all the way around so ill have 2.5 inch from that in the front and im going to do the fj spring swap on all 4 corners as well. im getting a 1.5 spacer for the back. im getting spider tracks wheel spacers as well. Im trying to see what the largest tire i can run with this set up is. I would love to run 33s but its not mandatory. what size would it be if i wanted to run a 33x10.5 (stock width i think)? would that size fit? i don't want to do to much trimming but i know ill have to do a little. if they wont fit what size will.
Ps the forum is awesome, lots of great info. thanks in advance for the help. Don

A little over 32" works well, easy and very minor trimming. The other cool thing is you can carry a full size spare. Look up 255/75/17, 275/70/17.

To do (almost) 33's, 285/70/17, works too with a bit more cutting and requires a different sized spare (unless the exhaust is modified and even then...). With your lift and wheelspacers it shouldn't require anything too crazy provided your willing to tolerate minor (but ok) rubbing when the wheel is cut and the suspension is flexed. To get into full 33+'s requires some body mount trimming in addition to minor plastic trimming.

thanks for the reply. how extensive is the trimming have to be to the body mounts, any pics? does it effect the structure of the runner?
