33's on my Lux or not?

Post by gravel »

Gday all,

Im after some advice re putting 33 inch tyres on my 03 TD Hilux (no lift).

Given that my rig is at standard height at present what are your thoughts re putting 33 inch tyres under it?

Am i likely to encounter rubbing?

Will it throw all of my gearing etc out of whack?

Will i lose a heap of power?

If i did have to lift it to get the tyres underneath what is the ballpark cost for a basic 3 or 4 inch lift?

Im running 31 inch MTZs at present but am just about due for a new set so hence the questions.

A lot of questions i know but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers guys. :? ;)

probably not a heap but it will be noticable.

should only need a 2 inch lift for 33s, no point going bigger if you don't need too.
If ignorance is bliss, then why aren't there more happy teenagers?
