Outer Limits 4x4 Board

will it work? ive got 32s on there now and they look small...lol
will lifting the body have enough clearance to work?

they will be fine, a mate had 35 Simex pedes on his stock 60 and he rarely scrubbed.

the only way you'll really know is to try it!

What tyres are available in a 34"??

Plenty of common 35" tyres actually measure closer to 34"

im very tempeted to buy these 34x10.5x15 JT2's and see,
they are second hand and very worn, but so are the 32's i have on it now,

33's scrub on my stocko 60, so i dont think 35's are going to rarely scrub

are you sure it hasnt had a lift? My 33's measure 32.2"

I got my 60 a few years ago, and from the measurments, i guestimated it had a 3" sus lift that has saged to about 2.5", and I had to put a 2" body lift to stop it scrubbing around normal corners on the road when running 35" pedes, and even now I still scrub on more serious artic situations offroad.

Hope this helps

I only had a 2" body lift in mine when I put my 35" Simex centipedes on. These tyres actually measure closer to 36" and I had no problems at all. 33" tyres fit no dramas when stock. Hope this helps.

33" tyres will fit no probs if your negotiating the trails at your local macca's, but if you want any articulation at all, they scrub.

thanks for the info.....might try and see.. the 32 work well but id love more.....

how does a stock geared cruiser cope with larger 34'', 35'' and 36'' tyres? i'm contemplating 34'' JT's and wonder if it will be ok with the 3F and 4.11 diffs

cheers

Are you sure you drive a 60? You are't confusing it with a suzuki are you? I have pics of mine flexing up with 33" and no scrub. I got scrub with 35" on a mates. But I don't know what you are on about.

Are you sure your standard 60 had standard springs? i know for a fact mine does....

standard springs, 33" tyres = scrub.

Agree with last post... I put 2inch extended shackles in mine to give minimal lift, and still scrubbed with 33's.... just had to take a lumpy to the front corner where it was scrubbing on the bolt head. And YES I was still running standard springs.

I had 35x12.50x15 BFG Mt's with 2" raised springs and 1" lift shackles and they rubbed just driving along the road. 2" bodylift fixed that.

in light of the last 2 posts, are you sure your driving a 60? You arent confusing it with a skid steer loader are you?

I wouldn't mind a skid steer loader but alas I am in a sixty series. However, in light of this thread, I am starting to wonder about the consistency of 60 series cruisers. I definitely had no spring lift and 33" were fine; in fact the 35" pedes would have fit on with a little scrubbing. Anyway, none of this answers the guys question.

Mate, if you are still reading this rubbish, I would just go find someone with the size tyres you want and borrom them for a few hours to see.

I have (I believe) an old, somewhat sagged, 2" spring lift in my 60 with standard shackles. No body lift. 35" Centipedes scrub the inside rear wheel arch at full up-travel and the fronts foul on the springs at full lock.

Having said that, I think the rims are probably not the correct offset for a 60. Correct offset rims may solve (or reduce) the problem.

Hasn't been enough of a problem to worry about.

wont matter how much suspension lift you have, if they scrub on FULL compression on a 1'' lift they will with a 5'' lift whens its back to the bumpstops too, only body lift will help or rim offset depending on where its rubbing

With Standard Springs in my 60 i would have had no hope in hell of fitting 33's (Keep in mind at the time these where the original 22 year old springs).

After a 2" OME lift, and 33 x 12.5 x 15" Cooper St's i still get a little bit of scrub on the rear wheel arches.

fellas- the 60 series is actually designed to take a 33 inch tyre- before you start flaming me, check your speedo with a GPS- if you are running 31s, you will only be doing 95 when your speedo says 100. if you are running 33s, your speedo will be less than 1km out. i got this information from this forum from some other 60 owners when i did the tyre swap. it has something to do with them also being released with 33 inch equivalent 16 inch split rims i think? i can find the post if anyone is really that concerned.

SO- your tyres are probably scrubbing because they are too wide, not too tall. 33x10.5 will not scrub. 33x12.5 probably will- the 12.5 wide is a much more common tyre size, but you can get 10.5s and fats are just for show anyway

Flame, Flame!

Not quite correct, in my case anyway. When I went to 35" tyres, my speedo was out by 20% according to a GPS. Therefore in theory my 60 was geared for 205R16 tyres (roughly 29") which is what my owners manual says it came with. Also according to my owners manual the G packs came with 205R16 tyres and the base models came with 7.50R16 or roughly 32" tyres. I can't explain how the speedo can be correct for both size tyres. Maybe there is a different gear drive in the gearbox?

Back to the original uestion. I just put my 33x10.5x15 tyres back on. I changed my suspension around and now have OME springs front and rear, removed the extended shackles. I also have a 2" bodylift. 35x12.50x15 work with this set up. 34x10.5 would be a breeze.

nice looking rig....
