I have a 2 door Rubi, and want to put 35's on her...I would not mind going down to 16in wheels, but do I need to do a full suspension lift to fit the 35in tires on?

sorry for the newb question, but I have had sportscars my whole life...until I got my Rubi few months back due to moving to Seattle and loving the places I can get to up here...

Thanks!

 

Rick,
my girlfriend and i have an 07 2Dr Ruby that we are putting on a Teraflex 2 1/2" Budget Boost have in south Everett tomorrow and after that 35's can go on but we do not have any, YET!

Modified Tech FAQ

 

TF 2.5" BB with 35's, no rubbing at all...You will need either wheel spacers or after market wheels with 4.7" or less backspacing. A rear track bar drop bracket, or adjustable track bar is also recommended to prevet the inner sidewall of the rear driver's side tire from rubbing on the sway bar at full droop.



Oh, and as stated above, check out the FAQ section. It's loaded with great info...

 

I LOVE this site...

Thanks for all the replies, and pointer to the FAQ...Newb mistake...BUt I really do appreciate the help...

Jeep-On!

 

I have a 1 3/4" budget boost and a 1" body lift. I plan to run 35's. I don't think I will have problems, and I plan to do some suspension flexing.

 

What about the spare, what is needed, if anything, to mount a 35in tire

 

You'll most likely need a wheel spacer. I did, and so did my Dad.

 

WOW. Looks awesome man. I love how 35's look on a 2.5" BB. Perfect!

 

Pretty much whatever the other 4 wheels need. Either spacers or new wheels with less backspacing. Otherwise they dont work with the bumper cut-out.
