What do I need to do to move up to 35s

[ndwgolf]

My current tires are 305/55/20 on the rear and 285/55/20 on the front.
I want to put a more aggressive tire on but in a 35/12.5/r20.
I have pro fender adjustable shocks so might be able to get the correct height ............ just wondering what the gang has done with there rides to accommodate the bigger tires. If you look at the rear tire there’s plenty of room on the front of the wheel arch. But next to nothing on the rear of the arch

Is it not 4wd?

Yes it’s 4WD........... does that matter

with different size tires front and back? I'm surprised something hasn't broken yet, unless you have never had it in 4wd yet?

I always use it in 4WD in the rain and we get lots of rain in Thailand.
Do you think I can get 35s in that rear wheel arch?

Fiberglass or lift

Don’t understand?

Fiberglass bedsides and fenders. They have a wider wheel arch to accommodate 35's.

From the owner's manual:

"The two front tires or two rear tires should generally be replaced as a pair, except if the vehicle is equipped with four wheel drive. Vehicles equipped with four wheel drive should have all four tires replaced simultaneously. Unevenly worn tires, mismatched makes, models or brands can be different in size, resulting in potential damage to the four wheel drive system."​

Okay I get it now. Replace the wheel arches, which is something I’ve been thinking about doing as my ones have some damage to them. The challenge here will be getting the correct fenders over the phone.

I've also been told something about spider gears??

Well it's not just the arch it's the whole fender and bedside themselves. Takes a lot of work.

These are 33's but 35's fit just fine and 37's will fit if you trim a bit of the front fender.

On Monday I’m going to put either AMP Attack MT 35/12.5/r20 or 35/13.5/r20 on all 4 wheels

 

[ndwgolf]

I hope they fit
