Tire Size

[stsmoker]

With RB spacers 3" front, 2.5" back (if that makes it level) how big of tires can you fit on a Ex?

What's a "RB spacer"? Who makes them? I want to lift mine to fit 33's.

Should be able to fit 33's at least with 3" lift. I just put 31's on my 07. Fits great. no rubbing at all.

Ok, keep in mind JoeCool has a sport trac.
I recommend 265 75's as the largest with only a 3" lift.
you can fit 33's, but they may rub when turning or going over corners.
For 33's I recommend my lift and a 3" body lift.

With that body-lift...approx how much time did it take to do? and how much did it cost approx if you can remember?

 

[RoadBully]

It took me about 7 hours, and the kit was about $250

DAYUM! that's a long time haha, money is'nt a problem...but that time thing sure is haha
so back to the tire size thing...i may be readin this wrong but i understand that you can put 32x10.5 on 3rd gens. With 3in lift in the front, 2in in the rear...you can still only run 32x10.5's?

I don't know anyone that's actually put 32's on ...
The largest I recommend with only spacers... OR only a body lift is 265's, around 31.6" I think...
Some have gone with 285's, and only 3" of lift, but it will rub...
Hope that answers your question.
