Lift/Tire Size Chart

[navigator]

can you post the size to your build thread for others to see, I'll move you up during the next update.

[navigator]

Sorry Ben, I looked back and see that your size is already in your build thread and you are already in the chart, thanks for that.
I think we need to leave it in that slot with the 265/75/16. I know the Treadwright's usually run a little big but many brands run a little different than their size. I had thought about once I get everyone's build up filling it out a little more to denote actual lift installed, Z71 springs etc just to give folks more info at a quick glance but I may never get that far. I had also thought about adding a slot for tire brand as well but then again folks change tires pretty often and it could get outdated pretty quickly.
It is something to keep in mind as this thing matures.

Makes sense to keep it as the mathematical diameter.

[Nakashige]

I like it so far.. Kinda wish this was here when I was new

[navigator]

yeah, I know what you mean. It will hopefully help someone though.

[chevycrew]

I just noticed mine is in here.

I know my axles are roughly pushed 5" towards the ends of the TB, my ground to frame is 23" (low air pressure) and Im running a 1" body lift.

[Zero]

Im missing from that list

265/70/17 goodyear mt/r 32"
no cutting or trimming
2" front bds lift
aftermarket wheels. +24 offset
rear - 2" spacer + z71 springs - no cutting / trimming

[navigator]

yeah, ChevyCrew, we finally got you on the board. Hopefully most of the info is in your build thread. I expect later on most folks won't scroll through all these comments, they'll just look at the chart and click the links. In the current post I might actually have the wrong thread by your name. I'll fix that in the next release.

Hi Zero, good to see your interest. I am basically building the chart from the build threads and you are unfortunately on page three. I'm about 1/2 way through page 2 right now but I'll get to it hopefully in the next few days.

I've not really updated the list in a couple of days, mostly adding it to my spreadsheet which builds the table. I might wait until I have them all done to post an update.

[navigator]

ok, I should have everyone up there. Please click the link for your build and make sure it actually goes to your build thread. A lot can happen with the amount of copying and pasting and removing carriage returns/line feeds so I could have some issues.

Also there are a lot of names at the bottom that do not have the full tire size. Please update your build thread and PM me if possible. After a few days I'll remove those listings from the bottom.

If anyone doesn't see your name on the list please let me know.

Psst...

[navigator]

Noel, what you didn't know I upgraded your tires while you weren't looking?

J/K, thanks for keeping me straight, you should be moved now to the right spot.

[Diacom]

Great, Thanks.

[Trail X]

Glad you volunteered to tackle this. That's a lot of work!!

[navigator]

no problem, it wasn't that much work. It was kind of neat going through every build thread too.There are also several out there that have a lot of mods but no build thread, Jon A was the one that stuck out to me.I had thought about adding columns for things like bumpers, winches, RTT, electronics mods etc to make it easier to browse builds that have key things you are interested in. I know anything we add now will take reviewing every build thread again but some of that info might be worth it. Can anyone think of anything else that might be useful?

[Harry Moto]

Excellent!!! That WILL be helpful, maybe you won't hear too much back about it, but I'd bet one lurker/day or more will be scoping it out, and maybe copying and pasting for their tire decision. Very nice!

I have the 255/75x17's, 1.25" spacers, and no lift was needed in back. I put on a 1.75 front lift, but I don't think it was needed to clear the tires. I think these are listed as needing 2" lift. Not true in back, for sure. I'm just sayin'...

[navigator]

thanks for the feedback Harry!
I'd rather error on the conservative side. I wouldn't want someone to order spacers and new tires and go to install them and be unable to or have them rub like crazy. If anyone is running this size un-lifted it would be great to get feedback on that. For the rear, the chart assumes that it will at least be level with the front. I'll add that to the assumptions just so it is clear.

I'm actually thinking about upgrading the tire chart to be more of a build thread chart. Instead of listing what you need to run each different tire size, show each build with their tire size and each option they have installed. That will take a great deal of time going back through each build but I think it will be a more powerful resource and more reflective of what guys are running. It will also give more information about the folks who have mods but don't have their tire size in their build.

[Trail X]

Chris, methinks maybe you need two charts.

One optimized for lifts/tires only... then if you want to get crazy, make a second build thread chart. At a certain level of detail, data begins to loose all meaning, except to whomever made the chart. This one is already probably getting close to that point with all the additional names.

Also, as a thought, maybe you should create a separate, one columned chart for people that don't have a size listed, instead of buggering up the bottom of your pretty chart.

[navigator]

good call JD, I was going to clean up the bottom anyway now that it is finished.
A second chart does sound ideal.

[Diacom]

Would you mind moving me to the 265/70/17 section though, i don't have 275's... thanks

[Trail X]

Hope you don't mind Chris, I got rid of the extra rows, and just combined all the names into a single cell.
