yj wheels

[81cj]

afternoon yall just bought an 89 yj for my son and being 16 years old he wants the biggest, baddest tire he can have. With a 4 in. susp. lift whats the biggest i can go without trimming on the body ? 33-12.50\15 on 15x10 sounds good to me but he wants bigger. any ideas? gotta start the second generation jeeper out right

I run 32x11.50 with my rustys 3.5" lift

the Cj has a add-a-leaf and 33x12.50 and i mash the fenders all the time

Bigger - Bigger - Bigger! :lo1l:

You could easily do 33-12.5 with a 4 in. susp. lift.
I had 31x10.5 without a lift at all. Just put in 2.5" and plan to go up to 33-10.5 this summer.

Without the lift they did trim a bit of the fender but when I went offroad they didn't hit or cause any problems.

Good luck! Post a pic! :)

go soa and fit 35s, you get to keep the stock springs and get about 6 inches of lift :lo1l: :lo1l: :lo1l:

4" suspension lift, 5/8" boomerang shackles, 1" body lift, TJ Flares and 15x10 wheels with 3.75" back spacing = 35" tires on a YJ

You maybe able to forego the bodylift with the TJ flares if he doesnt' plan on wheeling it that will also help keep the CG down a bit, or extend the bumptops with no body lift so the wheels don't stuff to hard.

4" suspension, front shackle reverse, SYE in the NP231 and a Tom Woods shaft - - - 33" BFG's on 15x8 Pacer 330C chrome steel rims.
And this IS my 16 year old daughters Jeep. She got it Sunday for her birthday!!

When I was a sixteenyear old kid I needed a roll cage on everything I drove, including my bicycle.

Don't think that a modest lift and tires will prevent him from joining the upsidedown club.
