Well I just got my Ex less then a month ago, and the Mod bug is already biting me. Did the BWM yesterday and ive had fun spinning around corners and doing doughnuts.

I come from the sedan world where lower is better, lowered a Taurus SHO 2" and barley fit 245/35R17s on it.

My Ex is under an extended warranty, so im not trying to do anything to it besides just the RB Lift, no shaving, no other lift.

From what I gathered the biggest I can fit would be ~32" correct? or am I wrong?

Im looking at 275/70R17 Mud Terrains.

Would I have any problems with that with just the RB lift like I said?

-edit

I could be wrong, but it looks like all I can purchase from his website is a 2.5/2.5 combo, is this correct?

The same question for a 2.5" lift.
 






With that lift I believe that 265-75-16's would work without any trouble. You may also be able to run 285-75-16's with some trimming, but they would fill out to much in my opinion and not look "correct."

Check out the thread of 3rd gen pics below this thread to see what others have done with a similar lift to find what suites your taste.

Good luck;)
 






Alright, sense I got the 17's that means 265/70R17 and thats the same size (31.6") Thanks.
 






Crap, I need to read the full question:D

I believe a 265-70-17 would be a good size choice.
