davinci701 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 I want to lift my 2003 Tahoe so I can fit some 30" rims what height would I have to lift it to in order to fit them snug? thanks in advance guys
cravingdb Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 depends on if you want a body lift or suspension lift. I have a 95 Tahoe with 35 inch tires. that's with a rough country 6inch suspension lift, maybe that will give you an idea.
purplesyrup Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 My friend has a wheel shop and he does this stuff all the time, I will text him right now to see what is required
davinci701 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Posted March 21, 2013 sounds good the tire diameter is 35" but I wonder if it will take away from the rims
purplesyrup Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 sounds good the tire diameter is 35" but I wonder if it will take away from the rims No that wont take away from the rims, a 30 Inch wheel even though its a 30 will measure almost 32 inches on the outer face, then your have your tire, that leaves an inch and a half of tire top and bottom give or take, That sounds like the lowest profile tire, he just texted me back and said you dont need a lift, and depending on the offset will determine what modifications you will need to make in the inner fenderwell as far as turning without rubbing.
davinci701 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Posted March 21, 2013 what would be thee best offset to have
SnowDrifter Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Do your own thing bro, it's your ride. But why lift a car just to put big rims on it? I've never been a fan. But as I said: it's your car. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
