Emergency tire fitment help needed!!

**Turdle** · 05-23-2009, 08:53 AM

Burns!!

Why did you tell me to get this size tire. I doubt a torsion twist will fit these. I think they may still rub a bit.

Hmmm,

Maybe a little cutting, and if I remove an IFS thingy or 2.

**IZwack** · 05-23-2009, 08:58 AM

Aww I cant wait! Looks so cute! ^_^

**Tbars4** · 05-23-2009, 09:30 AM

...

...After all that powder coating, it's time to get the sawzall and and go crazy...

*techieman33* · 05-23-2009, 09:41 AM

Agreed, the sawzall will fix that problem in no time

rodger9221 · 05-23-2009, 09:44 AM

lol looks like an rc car jon

**IZwack** · 05-23-2009, 09:47 AM

Actually now that I look at it some more, if you kept the same ride height and fit those tires, it reminds me of the Camburg Trophy Truck:

**Turdle** · 05-23-2009, 11:05 AM

These are very nice tires.

I took out a sharpie, drew a line and gave Sheri the sawzall.

You guys would love to see that wouldn't you?

*zukman* · 05-23-2009, 11:09 AM

Those would look so rightous on my new 91! And she is already set up for 37's!

37" tires

That must have been a typo or Burns was being sarcastic.

Or it was his top secret plan to force Jon into an SAS

yea I could barely get 33's under jsut a TT and shackle lift, your screwed with those. I had to do like 2inches of trimming front and back of the front tire, and you have a 4dr, which has even smaller front wheelwells than mine.

You can see my puny little 33's behind the big tires--

Wait, no, you can't.

rodger9221 · 05-23-2009, 11:33 AM

Those will look good on my trailer

kert0307 · 05-23-2009, 11:59 AM

3in body lift with the superlift and they would be close to fitting...

**JDraper** · 05-23-2009, 12:12 PM

Calling Dr. Sawzall....calling Dr. Sawzall.....

Either that or some fiberglass front fenders and bigass fender flares on the rear....

**Burns** · 05-23-2009, 01:08 PM

AHHHH SWEETTTT

Man there pretty awesome looking. There gonna fit jon just wait. Just put them on and let the rubbing begin buddy

*CDW6212R* · 05-23-2009, 03:41 PM

I think you should try a step between the 33 and 37 first.

**Dannyboy** · 05-23-2009, 07:20 PM

eeek I get the willies just looking at a fresh set of those, had them on my last Superduty and it sounded like a Helicopter going down the road.

BUT

x2 for fiberglass Fenders and run them.

What are they really running on?

Oh, and 37s have been run on IFS Jon, this guy is doing it with a sloped body lift.
