Area 35

[extreme-4x4]

and they work almost..... steering good articulation is crap
hitting the tops of tubs...

my plan is to put 2" spacers on the front dampers and those rubber coil limiters on the back... i hope this will stop em hitting if i limit them

cant see from teh pic , how far to the tyres stick out ?

 

[extreme-4x4]

bout 1.5 inches

 

[nejones]

Extreme excuse my ignorance but what size are they?

What offset on the wheels?

Looks great by the way:thumb2

 

[extreme-4x4]

sorry ... i forgot to say

35 / 12.5 / 16.5

16.5 x 10 inch alloys

i was too excited to measure the offset will tomorrow

Very nice looking wheels Whats the gearing like with 35's

"I was so excited I forgot to measure them!"

You bloody big baby Colin! LMAO!!! :clap:clap:clap

lookin horny tho!

 

[extreme-4x4]

to be honest its not that bad... ok you got to change gear quicker... but i dont race about anyway

:surrender
OK you win
I'm almost unable to typo on me laptop due to the wobble:sly Bit of a high spot:augie
You need to do the body lift now to get some room for articulation:thumbs
MORE IMPORTANT what's the gearing like?

That dent on the wing needs sorting :lol

 

[Toolbox]

Oh and nice wheels:thumb2

 

[extreme-4x4]

the gearing is about as noticable jump again as you get going standard to 31"
its really not that bad

i really dont want to body lift i dont see the point and i like the height as is and center of gravity etc.... (as makeitfit knows all about)

im going to play with the shocks first ad see where that leads

got loads of metal off the truck though and really you need several thin grinder blades and go slow there is loads of wires in there . i only just missed them by chance

so they will fit but be prepared to hack your truck up lots

and when he drove me down Saturday night to that cannibal hillbilly farmstead (thats another story!) on his 31s, it was the first time I've EVER been in a T2 that had a 100% accurate speedo - we checked it against the GPS - so that tells you something about what 31s do for gearing ....10% speedo error reduced to zero!

 

[extreme-4x4]

question is
will i go faster
will i get more mpg


here is the shock..... i read on some law site you can increase your tyre size by 2% legally

 

[makeitfit]

You will go faster, eventualy:sly
MPG probably go down cause you'll be in lower gears longer, but not much if you've got the right revs.:thumbs
Who cares it looks the mutz nutz.
and to think of the fuss when I asked about 33s:lol:lol:lol
"Team Wales" mmmm

You have just uped the centre of gravity by putting on lift springs & now a set of 35" tyres:augiea body lift won't make much difference as most of the vechicles weight is in the chassis, engine & drive train

he's got you there Col!
