Help Me Decide Tire Size for ZMBYKLR!

[TheSmokinStroke2002]

Just sayin... 37s wouldn't be too big.

:drool:

What size tires are those? 44's?

.

Nevermind, I found it: http://www.fourwheeler.com/featuredvehicles/129_1205_2001_regular_cab_super_duty/

I won't go that big but that certainly doesn't look bad. 44" tires and only an 8.5" lift with the Hannemann fenders.

I need to find a pic of a regular cab truck with a 6" lift and 37's so I can photochop and see what it looks like.

38x15.50's!

My SSR's lasted forever... Like 5 years.

That truck would look awesome with 20x12's and some 38x15.50 Nitto Muds.


Or you could go back with stock bumpers.

 

[powerstrokin15]

i honestly think you need some 20s. and just 35s. maybe even 33s.

 

[Lowdown89]

I say 35's I think the 33's look great as it is but if you are going up 35's would be my choice

 

[JAP]

With those big ass bumpers, you should run a 15x14.

Can you even clear the brakes with 15" rims? Wouldn't a way wide rim increase the chances of bugering up the wrap? I know a lot of y'all like those wide tires, but they got to be hell on the paint.

I just think the tires need to be really wide to pull off those bumpers. It looks really good to me right now, but higher and on some 15.50 wide tires would just be sick to me. I think a 13.50 wide 37 or a 12.50 wide 35 wouldn't quite be wide enough of a look. But then again, I'm always for bigger lifts.

The bumper needs to be much higher from the ground. What I don't like about using the 05-07 grill is that it drops considerably lower than the 99-04 version, and in order to fit a winch into the bumper, the underside is correspondingly lower.

To get the bumper from looking like it drags on the ground, 4.5" lift with TEI spacer and 37"s.

 

[weazel]

I think minimal lift and 37's but wide ones, give it the "assault vehicle" look, big tires but a relatively low stance

What's a TEI spacer?

.

 

[HOOV3R]

What's a TEI spacer?

.

Spacer that goes under the lower coil mount to add more lift..

 

[Powerstroked162]

It's ICON's front coil spacer kit.

You can get them through Truck Toyz and I believe even PTP. Just a random link I found

 

[HOOV3R]

PMF also offers lower and upper coil spacers in custom sizes too:thumbup:.

..careful with spacers..they throw the geometry out of whack.

..if you are going to put a lift on..do it the right way...please..


..I hate blocks in the rear of trucks...4.5" lift w/ 6" rear springs..no blocks

The TEI spacer goes under the front springs. I have them on mine, adds about 1".

Danny, For reference, here's mine with Icon 4.5 and TEI spacer with 6" springs in the rear and 36x15.5x18.. and with the same bumper :thumbsup:

 

[TANK'S 250]

not the same bumper..you have a defender 6

 

[WHY NOT]

It's supposed to be a BA zombie killer truck. Make it as capable as possible, like Tank's truck. Go with the 37's or bigger with as little lift as possible, on board air etc. I am more of fan of big pretty trucks, but the way Tank has done his sure fits your theme way better.

None of our trucks are zombie, SHTF proof. The only thing that void of.electronics is the 12v Cummins. Yep I just said it :doh:
