Tires

[Thomas Varley]

If i wanteted to put bigger tires on my stock rims. I wanteted to but 285/75-16 i already did the tortion shackle lift do i need to use wheel spacers? and if i put those tires on how much would my speedo be off?

You won't "need" spacers but 1.25" spacers help kick the tires out away from the sway bar while turning. Your speedo won't be off by enough to really worry about it. If you went to any bigger of a tire then you would need lower gears or a tuner to reflash the computer for the bigger tires.

my '02 with 265's made the speedo dead nuts accuate... yours may be just a tad slower than actual speed with those tires.

Here is a nice tire size calculator I found online a few years back. If you use an X-cal tuner, you can actually change the revs per mile in the settings I believe...
