I want to run 35/13.50/r15's toyo open country MT's on black MB72 alloy black wheels. I wanted a small 2.5 in lift by teraflex but do I do the spacer lift/bb or the real deal? Is there anything else I need to order to complete this set up?

 

The TF spacer lift should do the trick if you're looking to run 35s on a budget.

 

Can't say that I'm familiar with the 2010's but I know some earlier models were "picky" about which 15" wheels would fit. I just ran a wheel option trial on Tire Rack and for the 2010 Unlimited XS, 17" is the smallest that it will let me choose so that may be an issue. Maybe not, but just a heads up.

 

ya dude, i second that, do some research cuz from what i've read 2007-2009 don't accommodate 15's only 16 and up i think. something about the breaks being too big for 15" rims. not sure about the 2010 but you should definitely check.

 

I did hear a couple of people say that they managed to "squeeze" some particular 15's on there but the tolerance was tight and most didn't fit but there were a couple that did. Don't let me convince you that those WONT work, but just be aware. Also, with 13.50's, I believe you'll want a 4" Back Spacing or less to keep from rubbing. I don't know the BS on those wheels but when I did my lift, they recommended a 4 1/2" BS for 12.50 wide tires so add an inch of width...subtract a half an inch of BS and it's even...

 

OK, thanks guys for the info... honestly you got me a little nervous now in chancing it. Plus I don't know enough to take those kinda risks which brings me to my next question. Option number two is to keep my stock rims (16in) and opt for the toyo open country MT's in size 315/75/r16 (35/12.50/r16). But I need the super dumbed down information as in what exactley do I order from teraflex? I was going to get the 2.5 spacer lift / budget boost with adapters, then order toyo open country MT size 315/75/r16 from .td4l.com[/url]. once arrived I will install lift on my own following the directions and have local tire store mount and balance and install tires. Question, is there anything else I need to order to make it drivable after that? do I need to order wheel spacers? like I said, talk dumb to me because I don't really have a grasp on wheel spacers/ backspacing and such. I just wanna make sure I order the right things all together so I'm not staring at a lift in the box while waiting for other parts to arrive because I'm a dumba**

 

Ranger666 do yourself a huge favor and take a look at the FAQ section. Check out the lift, wheels and tire type stuff and you SHOULD feel like you have a much better handle on what you are about to do. Take advantage of the forum sponsors and order from them as MOST will bend over backwards to make sure you are comfortable with the money you are about to spend and the changes you are about to make on your rig.

David at Northridge will really help you out with all your questions, get you what you need and make you feel LESS dumb LOL

 

Ranger--

1. As others have noted, 15" wheels are "iffy". Some work, some don't. Probably the best way to find out (short of ordering and trying yourself) is to post another thread with the exact question you want answered as the subject: "Will XXX 15" Wheels Fit?" That should get the attention of someone who owns (or has tried and failed) that combo.

2. If you decide on the budget boost route, TF is probably the most complete one. However, with the 35" tires and the lift, you may decide you don't care for the feel of the steering. It tends to be somewhat "flighty"--some describe it as being like driving on ice (it's not really that bad). Install the lift and tires, then decide for yourself if you want to fix. Adjustable front lower control arms (LCAs) is what you'll want. An alignment shop may say they can install cam bolts, but tell them "no thanks!", and live with the flighty steering until you can afford to fix it properly.

 

Also, whether you pm them on here or just call them, TeraFlex will be able to tell you the recommended backspacing for which ever lift you end up going with. The backspacing is the distance from the inner lip of the wheel to the mounting surface. You can either find out from specs on-line or measure yourself. It's a bit difficult to measure with a tire on the wheel, but still possible. Anyhow, if you had a bare wheel with no tire on it, the easiest way to measure would be to lay it on a flat surface with the outer part of the wheel facing up. Then put a ruler through one of the holes in the wheel and measure the distance from the flat surface the wheel is laying on to the mounting surface which is the part that will be sitting up against your axle. That's your backspacing. Some companies will put their specs in "wheel offset" which is sort of like tire sizes. There's the simple way (ie. 35x12.5 R16 or in this case, baskspacing) and the complicated way (ie. 315/75/R16 or in this case wheel offset). The complicated way requires some, IMO, unnecessary math to figure out what they're talking about. Anyhow, the wheel offset is the difference between the centerline of the wheel and the mounting surface. That number can be positive or negative. Don't know if that cleared up the spacer issue for you...
But I will say that I've seen a lot of folks running spacers with stock wheels so that may tell you... But since you may be getting in contact with TeraFlex to talk to them about their recommended backspacing for a certain lift, they themselves sell spacers so I can only presume (prefer that to assume ) that they would be able to not only tell you how much backspacing you'll need but also how thick of a spacer you'd need as well.
Sorry I couldn't answer your question directly but hope I helped a little.
Another thing to think about is if/how much you will be wheeling it. A budget boost will get you to the tire size you want but will keep your "flexuality" low compared to a full on spring kit.
Like Dylanjam77 mentioned though, there is a tremendous amount of info in the FAQ section that's a sticky at the top of the Modified section. It may seem like a ton of info and more than you need but you could find out 10 things you didn't know that you needed to know, in the process of finding out what you knew you needed to know...
