big tires

Forum: 

hi i have a 1987 dai-rock but its away and i would like to know if by adding 2" of shackles lift and 2 more of body lift can i fit 33" tires with no problem and still have enough wheel travel and second would the engine run just fine with does tires.

ohhh another thing i know my rims are 5 holes 15 inches, would any 5 hole rim fit in it? or is there an specific measurement between the nuts.

1 more thing up to what tire width would thoes rim fit. can i do 11.50 or even 12.50 to be exaggerated and last but not least do i have to use spacers.

Not 100% sure, but that

Not 100% sure, but that sounds like more than enough lift, as 31's will fit on the standard car.
The engine may be starting to strugle on the hills with the extra gearing you will be pulling. You could fit a petrol Rocky transfur box. This would pull the gearing back down.
Suzuki SJ and Vitara wheels fit, not sure if Jimney are the same. Also Lada Niva, and Jeep CJ will go straight on. LandRover will not fit. Neither will Austin Gypsy or Dumpsta wheels.
If you have standard steel type rims I would not even try fiting 10.50's. If you have the standard alloys you might get away with 11.50's. Personally for the size tyres your on about I would be thinking of getting JJ8's at the very least. Poss even a 10inch width fitting (with a LOT of off set built in)
I would avoid spacers if you can, as you are putting quite a lot of extra strain on the wheel barings and stearing components by using them. An off set wheel which alowes your wider tyre to stand with the iner wall of the tyre where the standard iner wall would stand is pefurable. Regardless of how far out the outer wall stands. The further you get the iner wall of the tyre from the chassis, the more strain you are putting on the vehicle.

Avoid fitting Suzuki rims, these are simply not strong enough for the loadings placed upon them. It would be easier to simply buy a set of cheap steel aftermarket rims, at least these will have the correct load rating, and you will not be breaching the inevitable terms of your insurance, etc.
