Body lift and 35s

[99Tahoe47]

I was wantin to do a body lift on my tahoe and 35s. Right now the torsion bars are cranked and i can fit 285s with no rub at all. Will the 35s clear with just a body lift or will i have to trim quite a bit. And if anyone has pictures could you post them up

being that 285 is only a width measurement and tells us nothing of the actual tire height it is hard for us to help..
285 is an 11.25" wide tire..

i will need the other dimensions of current tires to tell if a 35 height will fit.. also depends on what width 35 you plan to run.. most like ly you will need more than a body lift to make this happen.

yes they will fit with a 3 inch body and a bit of trimming

They are 285/70/17 right now and like i said with the torsion bars cranked it doesnt rub at all and idk id like to go with a 35/12.50 if i could cause i think it would give it a real aggressive look. The only thing i hate about the body lift is when you raise the bumper back up even with the body the hitch will hang down.

a 35 12.5 is wider than a 285.. remember that.. and will change things a hair

Yea i know its gonna be a bit wider cause isnt the 285s like 11' wide or somethin like that. And with the offset of the moto metals i didnt know how it was gonna affect hittin the front bumper

yea a 285 is like 11.22" adn your offset plays a HUGE roll what is your rim width and offset? these are key components.. also do you plan to flex any you have to account for that.. just bc you dont rub sitting level does nto mean you will not RUB LIKE A MOTHER with a little flex..

They are 17x9s and have a -12mm offset and i dont plan on flexin it that much and if i do it wont be much. Ill be off road but i wont be flexin or tuckin wheel or anything ha but yea with that offset im not sure how thats gonna affect it rubbin

Won't work with -12 offset.

12 is too much for what size your thinking.
