Re: 73-87's Tire / Lift size chart (WILL IT FIT?)

I agree but we'd like to see some options people have.

Like I have 4 inches+ clearance now and want to run like a 46 or 37, and I don't off road, however I have 33's now but they are only 31 inches tall aired up and truck on them.

So I could run right now a 4 inch bigger tire, but tires go 1/2 inch taller since they are round, basically that should mean an 8 inch or more tire bigger.

Basically what I mean if people don't understand is not only does it get closer to the body, but only half it's difference does, the other raises the axles off the ground.

Look at it this way, with my 31 inch 33's you have 15.5 inches going upwards above the axle if you will, and 15.5 going downwards from the axle.

In conclusion one inch taller tire in measurement meaning a 34 or 32 inches actual installed height, would equal 1/2 inch closer or 1/2 inch more in the wheel wells, with the same rim configuration.

Hope that's not too tech. or confusing.
