tires are on, they barely rub even while being stuffed with a minimum fender lining trim. Very happy with the result, should have done this sooner and not thought I ever needed to lift 4+ inches. Pics will be up tomorrow

eh... I had 33x12.5x15 on my '91 4Runner with no lift and a saggy butt.... so does dublin. Anway, I had them on 15x8's with 3.75" BS. All I had to do was hammer the pinch weld down.

Sure, you can stuff em' in there. But, If there's no room for them to move, you won't be able to make use the suspension. Some kind of lift is definitely a good idea.

Hell, I can fit some 27" BFG MT's under my cellica.....but it won't turn.

I am putting the 1.5 inch BJ spacer in the front. I already have the extended shackel in the rear. I am sure I can fit 33 inch tires just not sure about 12.50 width.

Keep us posted an would like to see the pictures.

Thanks

Funny thing is that they can move around just fine without rubbing. I took the truck offroad late yesterday and managed to crawl around without rubbing even with the tires at full left or right steering lock. Ball joint spacers are going on possibly tonight to give it some more lift though, I just wanted to see how much work was actually involved to make them work and not rub at all no matter what the suspension is doing. If I remember to take the camera with me tonight I will show you guys what I mean.

Gives me some hope of fitting 31's on my celica.
