have a 3" lift on its way with brake lines. What is the largest tire I can go?

 

Sorry to thread jack. Did you go with the 3" OME lift from Justin at Lucky 8? I would love to see some before and after pics as I am trying to decide between the 2" OME and the 3" OME lifts.

Back to the question at hand...

 

I've got the 3" terrafirma from lucky 8, and I've got 255/85R16, which are 33". They don't rub on anything, but I've got an aftermarket front bumper. It's possible they might rub if I were to stuff them into the wheel well off road, but they haven't yet. I do plan on getting extended bump stops just in case...

 

I just installed 265/75/R16 on mine with a 2" lift




I had to flip the tire carrier which involves drilling 2 holes but its pretty easy

 

How has this changed the mpgs if any?

 

It will be worse on fuel mileage, more rotational mass. I have 265/75 r16s on a 2" lift, will be going 285/55R16 in the spring(33").

 

Jafir I just bought that same lift. Flying z your Disco looks really good. I was supposed to do my headliner yesterday...ZG 33?

 

BB did the 3" TF lift. I will post pics for you.

 

With 265/75/r16 i get about 15mpg at 60mph and 12 around town

 

33's and over you will need to re-gear. Our weak axles/joints will not be able to stand up to much abuse w/ tires larger than 33's. As far as whats the largest tire you can stuff under a 3" lift? I'll let the guys w/ the 3" lifts answer this one. I only have a 2"er.
