Lift kits and tire size
This is probably really obvious but
Why is it that a stock 3rd gen p/u can fit 31's no problem, but lifting it 4 inches only gives you the ability to run 35s with some rub? If youre getting an additional 4 inches between the axle hub and the fender, shouldn't that be enough clearance for 31+4+4=39s? I know that it just plain doesnt work that way, but does anybody have some geometric knowledge on why that is?
