Nice video showing it's not just bigger is better. I have an old '93 Jeep ZJ with 3.5 inch lift, 31/10.50s and a little less backspacing on the rim than stock. I have plenty of clearance for anything but pure rock crawling, and the 31s stuff so nicely the only thing I have had to trim is a little plastic bumper

If anyone re-gears the final drive (differential) then consider installing Diff lockers while the diff is being rebuilt, will cost a little bit extra (parts only) but you will save in the long run if getting lockers later on anyway, as you're not paying for labour twice.

I went to Oceano Dunes, Ca with my wife in June 2016. We have a 2001.5 Dodge Cummins 2500 H.O.Quad Cab. Tires are 265/75/16 factory option. We carry a Lance Squire 165s and pull a Polaris General on a 12 foot trailer. I aired down to 28 psi. The rear tires were really squatting down. In low range, we walked right across that sand and set up camp. We saw a lot of new trucks with these new modern big wheel low profile sidewall tires. That setup seems to be very popular now. Some of those guys really struggled and some got stuck. The beach got softer and rutted as more and more people came in. One guy with the new 2015 or so modern look Dodge Cummins was getting bogged down. He had a pull trailer toy hauler with him. I talked him into letting air out of the tires and it worked. Still he was using a lot of RPM probably in part to the automatic transmission. All of that explanation is to ask the question, is that tire and wheel combination acceptable or it's mostly for looks and the population just don"t know?

Great informative videos, thanks. With regards to bigger types, and lift kits, the one aspect I don't see much (or any) discussion of is the impact due to raising the vehicle's center of gravity. When climbing a steep hill this effectively shifts more of the vehicle's weight onto the back wheels, thus reducing the traction of the front wheels. The additional weight also means that more effort/traction is needed to get the vehicle up the hill. The higher center of gravity will also make the vehicle less stable a in severe of camber situations, and likely to tip at a smaller of camber angle. Your thoughts, and any specific information and data on this topic would be really interesting.

Another point, maybe worth considering, is, if you go bigger then they are harder on your brakes, typically at hiway speeds, to slow up, as they are bigger and heavier and produce more centrifugal force!

People here do 2"leveling kits and run 35's on their trucks. I have a 2014 F150 with a 2.5" level that comes stock with 31's and I'm gonna buy 33's when the original tires wear out. Only reason I won't buy 35's is they'll rub and I'd have to cut a little off my bumper unless I get a bigger lift and it's mainly a highway truck.

Depends on your brakes. If they are drums you want to look into upgrading as they will suffer the most. If they are disks, they should work fine but they will overheat faster. If you do a lot of hill descents you will want to look into upgrading brakes but not if you mostly do level ground. Upgrading brakes usually isn't the biggest issue with putting on bigger tires. I have never liked lift kits because I always feel like the vehicle is more unstable after.

@Ronny_Dahl
@Ronny_Dahl 9 жыл бұрын
Hi Lachie, with the previous SR5 Hilux fitting 33's involved the following: #1 0 offset rims front and rear (rear is fine no cutting or further mods to be done) #2 some cutting of the guards on the inside (the internal splash guards close to the driver and passenger feet). #3 Added some cheap rubber flare extenders to widen the flares due to the wider tyre and wider offset rims (front and rear), Later changed those to "Monster Rides Flares" which are wide than SR5 toyota ones. #4 I changed the diff gear ratio from 3:5 to 4:11, this made it better for take off on the road and reset my 1st gear low off road. #5 I put 5mm washer between the bump stop to prevent the tyre from contacting the top of the front wheel arch! #6 was going to cut/trim & re-weld the body mount as it will still contact it on full lock at max flex, However found it to be ok for me with out cutting that. Thats how I got mine to fit on the previous SR5 Hilux 4lt Petrol, as you can see it took a fair bit of trial and error, got many ideas off newhilux.net and put them together and did a few different things myself. If you try the same then be very real careful about the body mount stuff if you do decide to cut it as there is no going back once done!! Also as always consider all mods before doing them as some mods can get a vehicle defected.

What is your current tire size? I'm just going to use the imperial measurements just to make it easier for me. If you have a 31x10.5x17 now then a 31x10.5x20 which I don't think exists would fit just as well, you will just have less sidewall to deal with. A 33x10.5x20 which I have seen should fit but it might have an issue with rubbing. Also the larger the tire size in an IFS vehicle, the greater the chance of damaging your CV axle. If your tire is in metric, you will have to reduce the ratio (middle number) to reduce the chance of rubbing. Like if you have a 275x70x17 now then if you want to maintain a similar size, you may want to go to 275x55x20s. You would go from a 32.2 inch tire to a 31.9 inch tire. I'm not really a fan of the metric system as they mix metric width with a ratio for the sidewall with imperial wheel height. The imperial system tells you how tall the tire is, how wide the tire is, and how tall the wheel is. EDIT: I forgot to add that if you use a low profile tire -- I.E. anything with a sidewall less than 60% of the width of the tire -- you will increase the chance of popping your bead. That is why for the longest time 31x10.5x15 was the king of tires. You can lower the tire pressure pretty far before risk of popping the bead. Now 35 inch tires are the new "king" purely because you have to upgrade your vehicle to put them on in most cases. People are pushing for 37s to be the new go-to. I would stay with the 17 inch wheels if you really want to do off-roading. With a 20 inch wheel you risk damaging it on a big rock and tires are just going to be more expensive. Big wheels with low profile tires is more for racing. Old 4x4 vehicles are lumbering beasts which don't need high speed stability.

I'm not convinced by the wider tyres/more traction argument. Narrower tyres give more pressure per unit area. It occurs to me that say dropping from 16- to 15-inch in order to accommodate a larger profile may be the way to go. Obviously keep away from low profiles that are so prone to sidewall damage. Check what the rally cars are using. So many modern passenger cars and SUVs have inadequate wheel arch space largely because they use strut front suspension. So 70% may be the largest tyre you can fit. I'm in the Japan Alps, so snow and ice are what I face in winter. Obviously not a problem in OZ. However, traction in mud is a common issue. I run a couple of Pajero iOs, because they have an over-engineered transmission (4WD/2WD switchable, lockable centre diff, crawler gear, LSD), also well designed strong road wheels. Drawback is that only Mitsubishi wheels will fit. And so cheap at auction that you can literally afford scrap when that expensive servicing falls due at 100,000km. Bit of a knee-buckler for you guys I realise. You can strap three lengths of chain on each of the rear wheels, so it's better to carry two spare wheels already prepared. Naturally you have to remove the mud flaps. A long winter with plenty of snow means a high probability of serious damage/write off. I've always planned to be the last owner, and scrapping is FoC. 200,000 yen will get you a low distance iO complete with registration and shaken. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit

Nice, but the big tires also typically stays on top mud for the most part, and tall thin tires usually cut or sink in to the lower harder part of the mud. But great video.

There is only the consum of fuel! Modifications are simple and 34 is possible on the behind holder with very small change! Brakes are strong enough at most of the off-roaders! Speed meter adjustment is not hard!

Ronnie I have a 2000 model jeep xj . I am just finishing up a roof rack making the final touches to the ax and shovel mounts . . Now I want it not to look like a station wagon . I am not out for huge tires . it has 15 in tires on it . What amount of lift or hight would I get if I can put 30 or 31 in tires on the cherokee ? A lift kit seems complicated and I don't need a high rise 5 or 6 inches higher . I just want 2 inches even 1.5 would make a difference . Any advice pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated . I heard what you said about gas milage with the rack . I heard this a week or so ago on another video and you have confirmed it . So to the drawing board I go . I already got a couple ideas for a shield or deflector . Thank You and God Bless Tim in Florida .

timothy thomas I had a 96 XJ before my current landcruiser, and ran 31x10.50r15 on standard suspension, but they did rub a bit. about 3" lift seems to be the sweet spot for 31s on the xj's

Thnalk you brother I ended up with a set I found in the local classified offer up app . I offered 200 of the 300 asking price . THE TIRES WERE THE SAME SIZE ALTHOUGH DIFFERENT TYPE TIRES AND ARE CLOSE TO NEW CONDITION . i GOT 5 TIRES AND WHEELS MATCHING . bEFORE i HAD CHEAP FACTORY STEEL WHEELS . The tires are Wrangler and the wheels are aluminum tear drop jeep wheels the local junk yard wanted 60 dollars per aluminum wheel , . Which would have cost me more than I paid for the whole package on offer up app . The truck is higher already by a little just from the tires and having tread . God Blessed us with this set ,hAVE A SAFE NEW YEAR AND God Bless

G'day Ronny/everyone, I'm considering installing a 35MM Formula 4X4 Readystrut lift kit to my 2011 Navara D40 to allow me to fit taller tyres to increase the diff height. I believe that the standards are 235/70R16. I want maximum legal height without clutch/rubbing etc. issues. What are your thoughts regarding 235/85R16?

Question: to clear larger tyres will more or less negative offset be helpful? For example, in my Ford Endeavour (Ranger wagon version) stock is 29" but to fit 33x12.5x15s is my choice of -30 offset rims correct or should I have gone with 0 offset rims. Stock rims are +10 Offset I think. Legality is not an issue here.
@SuperDufus
@SuperDufus 9 жыл бұрын
Indeed. The offset will have an impact on clearance. Not only must one consider the height of the tire, the width is just as important. Since wheel backspacing and offset affect how close (on a horizontal plane) the wheel are to the body/frame of the car, this impact may be even more important on the front axle due to steering. The lower the negative offset number, the further away from the fender and suspension components the wheel will be. For example a wheel with an offset of -30 will extend further away from the vehicle than a -10 offset. So a set of wheels and tires which clears all components may incur rubbing when turning hard left or right. Increasing the negative offset of the wheel will "push" both the wheel and tires away from whatever component they were rubbing against. This will also slightly widen the overall width of the vehicle at the axles. That is to say the wheels will stick out further away from the vehicle.

Don't change the offset from stock, the wheel bearings aren't designed for it and you'll get worse performance and wear them out quicker.

Hi Ronny, Do you know if a 275/55 R20 will be ok for a Range Rover HSE 2006 ? And if so will it put alot of major stress on brakes,suspension etc ? Thanks and great videos btw !
@Ronny_Dahl
@Ronny_Dahl 7 жыл бұрын
+maximusEagle not sure how much stress it will put on the vehicle but what I can say is low profile tyres are prone to splitting on the bead when lowered below 30psi. We have had a few split like that on our tag along tours.
