question on tires

my t100 naturally stands pretty tall, i can fit 33x12.50x16 maxiss mudders that are brand new. i can steer all the way with them but they rub just a little bit at full turn. my question is when i put a body lift on will i be able to fit 35s with about the same amount of rubbin?

32 or 33's you can fit now, your sig says 32" maxis mudders?

I would assume you could fit 35's, but why? 33's are more than enough imho and anything bigger you will either live with no power or need to regear.

yeah, you'll have to regear going anything larger than a 33. Proper driving skills and 33's can get you out of lots of places that 35's wouldnt be any more help. but as you body lift, if your dead set on 35's you have to keep in mind that 35's are not only taller, but probably much wider also. So keep in mind the clearances for steering and such also.

.........You sure you want a 3" body lift? Cheap way to lift...but weigh the pros & cons.

You need to figure out if the parts that you will be rubbing on even get lifted or moved with the body lift. Could be that if it's the frame or anything attached to it (besides the body) that you gain nothing.

And as was stated above, do you have the gearing and/or power to use them 35's?

the places i were looking at will be lifted with the body lift, i do understand i do not gain ground clearance, just space for bigger tires, i do plan on puttin a 4 inch pro comp suspension lift on either durin or before may, i do have the power and my gearin is stock i believe, i will ask if when my dad lifted it, if he did anything to the rear and front end.. im going to borrow a friends set of 35s before i buy me some, so i can see if i will have any clearance issues and everything

well man it depends on where they are rubbing, if they rub on the frame then giving it a body lift wont do you any good at all. If you are going to give it a bigger suspension lift then you will probably have to get a bigger backspacing on the wheel to push it out more, becuase 35"'s are taller and widder that a 33".

they only rub in the body, not a bit on the frame.. yes i plan on gettin spacers to widen my stance, i plan on gettin some dick cepek rims sometime soon, 17s will work just fine, the tires for 18s cost to much.. right now im considering sayin 33s cause i do take it huntin and my front end does some bouncin at my farm and camp, and 35s would definately rub, im a get 35s when i do the 4 inch suspension.. thanks for the help..
