Anyone know if you can fit 18" rubber to the 18" alloys and still drive (with a 2"lift) I saw BFG has a new mud terrain T/A 35 x 12.5 R18 LT/D tire available in the US but It doesn't seem to be here in europe yet.

For that size tire on a series 11 you are looking at a 4" min more like 5" lift and good bye wheel flares...

...not to mention about $2000US worth of mods to your drivetrain. Not a good idea. Go for some 16" and 265/75-16 BFG MT/KM.

No !

You should go get some Toyo 255/35-18's, torch your springs in half and get some of those tiny little KYB shocks. That'll get those tires WAAAY up into your wheel wheels and get rid of all that pesky ground clearance.

Take the stickers that came with those rice burner suspension parts and tires, put them all over your rear window, add 2000W of audio PA's, chrome bumpers and wheels, window blackouts and a neon kit for underneath.

Then, You be stylin'
