255/80/17 Owners Experience

Well buddy how did you make out , I have a 2019 sport. Bilstien 5100 all 4 corners and a 1" block in the rear 2" front 1" rear. I have a set of 17×8.5 ray10s -10 want to go to a 255/80R17 how did you make out?

 

6112/5160s 255/80-17 wildpeak at3 and I have rubbing even with the mud flats removed. I'm not maxed out on the front lift but I need to get in there and make some plastic disappear

 

You’re right about the cutting, at some point you’ll compress your suspension and you’ll be back to stock height. Unless you stay on pavement.
But you won’t have much to do.

 

I read all the time with this size tire and no lift people have no rubbing at all. Where is the truth?

 

The truth is people don't usually cycle their suspension then they post online then it fully clears. Lift matters 0% on fitting tires. It comes down to tire size, wheel offset, alignment, and the cutting you do.

This isnt quite at full bump

 

Whats your wheel specs?

 

Method 703 8.5" 0°
A heat gun was able to move some wheel well liner so I'm not rubbing pulling out the driveway but haven't been in the dirt yet

 

I have a feeling you will need to fold the pinch weld to fully clear. I have 2nd gen so I am not 100%

 

I'll have to look into it deeper when I get a chance, it's getting to be winter local to me. Just another winter project

 

How much lift on the front?

 

Not positive, around 7/5 on the ring/clips maybe more. I have a camper going on soon so it was a total guess til then to try to get the stance level but as of now it's definitely higher in the rear than the front
