im ether goin to get 31"s or if i can fit 32"s i want to get them..i have about 4"s of lift with the ARC can i fit them with a SMALL amount of trmming? or should i go with 31"s?

thank's

You could get 32s with 4". I ran them with 2.5" for a while. Now I have 33s with 5" and haven't rubbed (in the front) yet.

cool!!

is it ok to drive around all the time with your ARC maxed out?

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

it's actually not maxed out right now..the way i set it up is i made some bracket's so it lift's it only about 1 1/2 inches over stock and 2"s over stock when im in 4x4..so it's not maxed out..(hope that makes sense..lol)

 

[sk1er17]

yea that makes sense...

in that case- do the 32's. i have a 2" BL and less than 2" out of my TT.. i did very very minimal trimming and i NEVER rub off-roading. (im assuming you're not going to off-road tot he extent that I do with your ARC...)

and 32x11.5 look so much better than 31x10.50 ..

btw: id also reccomend getting rims with a smaller backspacing so your tires stick out further... see how your rear tire is tucked so far under..

im going to be getting 99-01 limited 16" rim's, and 99-01 limited fender flair's..i don't like aftermaket rim's..they don't look right..if they are going to stick out in the mean time..i may just go with 31's..i do off-road..lol prolly not as hard core as you but i do

thank's

 

[sk1er17]

just a thought.... do they make a tire sized 31x10.50x16? or 32x12.50x16?

i think you have to go metric IE: 265/75/16 or 255/60/16

EDIT: i made that mistake a year ago.. i orderd my 15x8 rock crawlers planning on putting on 265/75/16 tires that i was getting a killer deal on... came to that realization one night in bed before i fell asleep and jumped outta bed and started frantically looking for new tire deals

i take offense to this remark...

i think mine look right... i dont think any chrome or alluminum rim would do my truck justice..

cool..thank's for all the help!!..im still trying to figure out what i want to do..so many way's to go(yaknow..lol)

lol 16" tires on 15" rim's..hmm that don't sound right

whats stoppin ya from a 3" body lift and 33's? (actually you can probably fit 33's with just a 2" body lift.

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

ok on YOUR truck they look ok..but then again you don't have a valance..lol..your truck's look's awsome!!!

i love the red!!

i REALLY HATE body lift's..no i loth(?) body lift's..i think i want to do 31's and one set of rim's and maybe stock size rim's on another so i can lower it with arc for a while then go back to being lifted...i don't want to lift this thing to the sky..seem's kind stupid (to me)..im happy with the arc lift...i will prolly do AAL's and TT
