Tire and wheel question again

[LastExpo2000]

I have a 2000 expy. The front is already cranked a little more than 2"s. If I level the back with spacers and then lift the body 3" would I be able to squeeze Eagle 17X9 wheels and Yokohama geolander 315/70r17?

My dad was going to give me those tires that why I'm asking and if it would be trouble I'll hold off and get different tires

how much trimming?

 

[KWT2000]

im running 315's with the twist and spacers with a 3" body lift and if i hit a driveway just right they will rub..

so running boards and valance for sure and maybe more

oh okay, and what about the wheels. Do you have any problems with your 17x8? Would 17x9 help the rubbing any or make it worse? About how off is your speedometer?

As long as the back spacing is correct you will be fine, and the proper lug pattern, you may have to run a 33 until you get more lift.

im running 16x8 with the factory 4.5 back spacing... no problems in the back what so ever... i don't think going 9 wide would be anymore of a problem...


my speeedo was off about 6 MPH per my GPS... but i corrected that with the speedo drive gear change...

you will be able to do it with a tuner since yours in newer

These 315 tires are 12.5 wide. I'm wondering if these will come out enough from beneath my fenders to make my expy look wider. I'm just running stock 17" wheels.

 

[tallsville]

put current/stock tire size and the tire size you want and it calculates the speed difference

it will be tight but if you dont beat your expy offroading and do some trimming they should fit... they are only a 34.4" tire and if you do a 3" BL and the rear spacer you should be ok

 

[LastExpo2000]

Will 265/70r17's fit on a 17x9 rim?

 

[walnuts4x4]

IMO.... yes

 

[tmajikman]

IMO.... yes

x2, I don't see why not.

 

[LastExpo2000]

I shouldn't have any problems with a 265 tire on a 17x9 rim? I just don't want to buy new tires right now
