Let's See Those Lifted / Big Tire Gen 4s!!

[Lou Hamilton]

Trying to decide between 295/70/18 and 35/12.5/18 on my Timberline. Front end is definitely lifted compared to other 22's I compared on the dealer lot. I've been really busy but going to mount my 35/12.50/17's from my Raptor as a test fit. Definitely need more tire width for FL sand. Looking at suspension options.

I think that I am going to go with 285/75 R18's on my Timberline. They are slightly bigger than the 285/70 R18's that I have on my 2019 one.

Just need money now after dropping such a big chunk of change. LOL!

The tire sizing is so close. The 295/70/18 is 34.3 wide and 11.6 tall and the 285/75 is taller at 34.8 but narrower at 11.2
Would love to see a 3 Timberlines with 285/70, 285/75 and 295/70 to see which is too much in height and which is too much in width. The 295 is 1.2" inches wider than stock, wonder if it fits in the wheel well with stock rims or is a 285 with 11.2 width the way to go 3/4" bigger than stock.

I'll be going with wheels with a different factory offset.

I will be sticking with my Black Rhinos with a 12mm offset. Factory is 44mm. I am esentially pushing the wheels outward by 32mm with the wheels alone. My 2019 had 285 width tires and that seemed like a sweet spot for not having to cut or trim anything.

The Timberline comes leveled from the factory. I just checked and am at 37 3/8 inches at both the front and rear wheel wells. The ReadyLIFT might give me a Carolina Squat and I really don't want that. LOL

So I mounted one of my 35x12.5x17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the Timberline. I think the wheels are 17x8.5 34mm . Actually was surprised there was as much clearance. If I was going to run that combo I would pull back the fender liners. I think I just decided I'm going to run a 295 rather than the 35's.

Thanks for the update. I can't wait to get my old wheels and try them on. Granted, I only have 3 good ones. I will need to buy a 4th wheel and tire.

Thanks.

My current inexpesive thought is to just go the 2 or 3 inch spacer route for now (suspension spacer not wheel spacer). Since it is already leveled, the 3/2 ReadyLift won't work right.

I'l have to buy 1 wheel and probably two tires (at a minimum) in order to get the old wheels road worthy.

Then, I will have it back to the way it sort of was with my 2019.

May be interested in a 1 1/2 or 2" spacer lift F&R. Let me know what you find!

Rough Country 3inch Kit
295/70/r18 (34.5”) Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT
Pro Comp 40 Series Vertigo Wheels
Relocated Fender Liner
16.5 inches of clearance at running boards behind front tires. 17.5 inches of clearance at running boards I front of rear wheels.

No rub whatsoever with this setup!

this set up looks great, I am waiting for my rough country kit to arrive in the mail. now I know what tire size, the question will be am I going to need to put wheel spacers on it because I plan to run the factory fx4 tires.
