Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just got the 91 feroza yesterday and already want to put some bigger tyres and rims on it. Im looking at either 31's or 30's on f100 ofset 15" rims. im also looking at 2inch suspension lift intially. would both of the tyre sizes fit without scraping with the suspension lift alone?

i will be doing 70% road and 30% beach in the car so i would prefer not to have too much tyre roll so should i get 15x8 or 15x7's.

all advice appricated.

I've got 15X7 with Simex MT 31X10.5 R15 on them. I have a two inch body lift plus i've wound my front swaybars up and extended my rear shackles. I have no problems on the rear, however you'll have to take your front mud flaps off if you get 31's. I also had to cut a section out of the flare behind where the mudflap used to mount as the tyres kept scrubbing on the flare and inner guard. Apart from that I've had no worries.

I would definatly do body and suspension lift before running 31's. If you just wanted to do suspension lift i'd go 30's to be on the safe side.

very helpful, thanks. might do 30's first.

with 31's how badly is the gearing/acceleration affected?

Its better for cruising around the streets and you can do 60 kph at around 2k revs so I think it'd be more fuel efficient however it sucks trying to get to the top end of the speedo and also going up hills (road wise) is a problem.

I think its worth the sacrifice though

would be bad enough to be annoying. Even with the 30's its noticable. But the bigger the tyre the bigge rthe stresses on driveline parts - CV's, Hubs, diff's.
