New tires and lift

Pbz · October 10, 2020

Took it in for the brakes but shop have me great deal on 3.5" rc lift. I got the 285 55 22 radar renegade rt's from a friend in the biz. $185 each! Ride is comprable to stock, maybe a hair jerkier but that could be the tires. Also trimmed the hideous air valence. Tire rubs wheel well liner a little at full tilt. Plastidipped the bow ties too while I was at it.

More to come soon hopefully. Looking at some tow mirrors now.

Looking good!

As a datapoint, I have the same RC kit running 295/55/20 on XD 20x9 rims w/ 0 offset. (no rubbing/no trimming).

Looking good! Pbz

I put RC 3.5 under mine too, looking to get a new set of wheels and tires. What offset are this wheels?

Bgill How much poke do you have on your set up?

i found a good deal on some 22x10 fuel wheels I like, but w/ -18 offset,I think might poke to far.

Woz: At +0 offset my tires poke out about an inch or so.

A call to RC is worth the time explore your options with other tire size/wheel offset combo's.

Keep us posted on the the outcome.

Ok from the link below my stock wheels are ET44. Hope that is correct. I was told they were 0 offset, so was working from there.

If the OE wheels are +44 then 22x10. -18 would give 3+” of poke. That’s more then I want. 1” is about all I want to go, any more would just destroy the paint by throwing everything off the road up on the body. Using the calculator in below link, installing 295/60R20 on 20x9 +1 wheel I would have 1-5/16” poke. This is more what I am after. I will have to confirm the OE wheels are 44, and go from there.

thanks Bgill will post when I get the new wheels.
