33's on a challenger

Post by greeny »

I want to fit a set of 33 to the challenger but i am concerned about gearing, the challenger is high enough at the moment.
Does anyone know if the reduction gear set on the market for pajeros will fit the challenger.- its a manual
i Hope to fit a set of BF Goodrich 265-75-16 to my 16x7 inch rims

A 50mm suspension lift should give me enough clearence shouldn't it?
Cheers

265/75-16s are closer to a 32" tyre, not a 33" tyre. If you've already got 16x7" rims I presume you're on 265/70-16s atm, so the increase in size will only be about one inch (26.5mm nominally.)

I expect a 50mm suspension lift will be enough to clear 32" tyres, but any decent tyre store should be prepared to fit one tyre to your rim and stick it on the front to check.

Cheers,

Scott

265/75/16 are about 31's. 33's are 255/85/16 and will fit to the stock 16x7 rims. 31's will fit easy, 33's will fit with the 50mm lift.
