33x12.5 maxx rubbage or not

Post by mrRocky »

Iam currently building a rig for a comp in setember but it isnt going to be ready so im chucking some gears and lockers in the 1ltr stockman .
I dont want to break the axles instantly so running 34" simex JT2's is out of the question, the only other tyres ive got are a set of 33x12.5 maxxis on offset f100 rims.
The rear of the car isnt a problem as i can just take of the tray, the front has 2" BL, 2" springs, 3" shackles and i was going to move the diff forward 20mm and possibly fitting 2" wheelspacers. Are they just too wide or will they fit without mega-rub
cheers mick

i run 33x12.5 on 15x8 -28 offset. (Biggest offset on shelf new) Unsure of F trucks rims..My lift consists of 2"bl prob 1" spring lift overall, including my 3" shackles because of my longer springs..The front diff is 25-30mm forward. You will need a hammer at least. And if you go the wheel spacers, you may need a bigger hammer, grinder, and/or longer bumpstops..

I still scrub, but lightly. No massive grabbing.

No. 2" spacers would be pushing it. You'll have alot of offset which equals alot of tyre swing lock to lock (scrub radius). The outside edge of your tread will eat the bottom of your flares/firewall.
I'd recommend JUST enough offset to get your tyres off the springs at full lock and then work guard-rubbage around that.
All the gear, No idea...

the car is doubling as my work car atm so im a bit hesitant to kill the body too much. I may do a RUF to get them of the firewall, fingers crossed they dont hit the springs, i did run 33 simex's with a similar setup but they were only 10.5's
