UCA questions

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know what i need to do to fit 33/12.50/16 on my truck. Can i get away with putting just UCA and cutting a frame block or whatever everyone calls it??
Thanks

 

OME 885s, aftermarket UCAs if your alignment is off, cab mount chop (is what you were referring to), lots of plastic trimming, beating the pinch weld, maybe more. Are you dead set on that tire size? Lots of people run 285/75 (33" OD) and clear with minimal trimming, just and FYI.

 

Thanks so much!
What if i do UCA and king coilovers. Or is it the width that is the problem. Call me stuborn but I really like the look of 33s

 

depends on offset and backspace..

I am running 255/85/16's with no rubbing and they are 33" +

 

Suspension height only matters if its non compressible. Otherwise it still rubs under compression. UCA generally makes allignment better but rubbing worse. Your rear tires will rip off your flares in the back too.

 

what is the absolute widest tire i can fit with total chaos ucas and king coil overs without getting fender flares and doing a crazy amount of trimming. I want the height to be 33 or 285.. and on a 16 inch wheel...but what is the widest. thanks for all the help

 

285 is the width i think it is 11.5"

 

here is a link that explains how to convert metric to standard sizes http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/23715-how-understand-metric-tire-sizes.html

 

you can fit 305s which are equilivant to 12.5s

 

how much trimming is needed

 

with 285s I had to cut the cab mount and trim the shit out of the fenders and inner plastic liner, with 305s it will probably be similar

 

ya sorry don't know why i typed 285. do you know the widest i can fit in metric or standard. i can do the conversion. actually here is the formula for turning metric to standard if you ever need it in the future . You take the first number which would be say 285 and divide it by 25.4 that gives you your width which is 11.22. now for the height you take the first number 285 times the second number in decimal form so if its 75 you would take 285 times 0.75 divided by 25.4 times 2 plus the rime size. which = 32.83 inches tall.

 

so if i put 305-70-16 i will be good

 

yeah you are right .you would just have to trim more.

 

^^^^^ this and some wheels are spacers to correct backspacing

 

ok thanks guys
