I know to properly run these tires with a 2" lift you either need the right backspaced wheels or spacers. I found a used set and have somebody maybe lined up to buy my stocks. Can I just get down the highway okay with 265/70/17 on the stock wheel and a 2" RC lift? Will it clear the bolt without spacers? Strictly highway, until I can pick up either spacers or wheels. I don't care if it rubs at lock since it would just be a weekend of asphalt. They are about half worn set of Duratracs.
Are they xk or wk wheels?
XK wheels. The 6 spoke chrome clad 17"ers
You may be alright. ... worst case bring a hacksaw and trim off the hex portion of the stud if it hits.
After lift picture in this thread, you can see which wheels

Ooh you're just swapping tires....
Yeah. Originally I wasn't in a hurry to get this done. But I have a guy interested in my stock rubbers and he wants them ASAP. Just wondering if I can get by on the asphalt for a week or so until I can get some spacers too.
And I found these 4 Duratracs that I can get for probably $140. He claims they're 50% but hasn't actually measured them.
Id give it a shot.... test fit one first. Either way id pick up those tires for $140 if they're in decent shape
That's what I'm thinking. If they're decent I'll buy 'em. If they go right on for now great, if not they'll go on in a few days to give me time to get a set of spacers.Quote:

Yeah, they make 265/70/17 Duratracs. They are more worn than I hoped but I bought them anyways for only $120. They're about 30% so it should get me on into next year and well past recouping the moving expenses.

Much better!
She's got a little bit of the droopy butt look going on. Glad I did the lift with stock struts though because it would've really looked off had I bought the Bilstein 5100 struts and added a little bit more up there. But, that's a conversation for another thread.
A set of Monroe load levelers is a quick/easy method to fix that. And you're at the right place for help.... the 58643 p/n originated on this site ;)
Yep, I spent all afternoon one day reading though your and sal's garage on those shocks. That's exactly what I have in mind.Quote:
