Tire size help

Post by klar55 »

Does anybody have a BJs 2.5” lift kit? I just installed on my 89 waggy with 31x10.5r15 With stock wheels and it looks like I could have gone a bit bigger on the tires. I’m thinking of ordering some 32x11.5r15.I don’t mind a bit of rub but do t want to deal with trimming. This is for driving to the beach and back, no wheeling.
Recently I found these good and reputable online casinos https://www.pamperazi.com/ and want to share it with you, guys. Play vidro slots online and win real money.

My wife's 77 Wag has a 5" lift with 32x11.5r15 and it rubs in rear fenders on articulation. 31s are perfect for 2-3" lift.

You have to cut sheet metal for 32s to fit in back. Typically the front lower rocker area. But also depends on wheel width and back spacing. The rear fender openings are just tiny.

Also note that your lift will settle some as it breaks in.

And as fulsizjeep said above, 31's are perfect for your size lift.

I have a 2 inch lift. And 31s look perfect for me. Although im thinking of changing the block on the drivers aide rear to add another .5 inchs.. even with new leaf springs and a add a leaf that damn drivers side in the rear still sits lower then the passenger side lol.

Here is what mine looks like with 2 inchs and 31x10.5r15. The tires are Mastercraft Courserer MXT mud terrains

Wide Track versus Narrow Track is part of this discussion, I believe. Wide Tracks can accomodate larger, i believe.

Much larger, but the OP has a Grand Wagoneer. So not really on topic for this particular thread.
