RCX 4.75 lift and tire combo questions.

Harbinger · February 25, 2015

I've been running the Grabber AT2's since July and they are a great tire. I chose to go with 275/70/18. I figured it would be a good size that wasn't too big, but am reconsidering my decision.

Im considering going with the same tire, but 285/60/18. Reasons. I wouldn't mind a wider tire and I noticed that my truck doesn't have the get up and go it used to (Yes even with tires only 2 inches bigger than stock) and even with getting my diablo intune I can still tell.

I have priced out re-gearing and it is a HELL of alot more expensive here in Canada. Some of the American prices I've seen....well double or triple them.

So basically I want to know what you guys think about a 285/60/18 tire with this lift and will it look ridiculous?

Here is current setup

This is after I lifted it with the stock tires still on it.

Those two tire sizes essentially weight almost the same so rolling mass will be negligible. The 285/60/18 is quite a bit shorter but I think you are going to hate the way it looks. I guess your choice needs to be whether looks or performance is #1.

Yeah I just wish I could test them out lol I think I could deal with the way it looked if it performed much better. I could always remove the body lift top make it look better
