lift for 32" tires? (92 l300)

Post by sooperAndy »

I was just at my local tire shop perusing their new lineup of tires and saw some sweet ones that basically work out to 32" (31.7"). I believe they are 265 75 16. Now, I have 15" rims, so I know I'd need new rims. And, I'd probably need to remove the front little step/guard things. How much of a lift would I need? What would all be required to get these to fit?

Hey sooper ,one bloke on aussie delica forum had a l300 with 32s ,but i have noknowledge of the suspension specs. Another user has 33s on his mitsi express 4x4 but has kept it pretty private away from the forum.

Sorry I'm not much help.

There have been a couple of members whom have installed 33"s, search through the Modifications forum. I think Garyo had 33"s and a 4" lift? Check him out as well. I think with 32"s you're likely going to be carving out some of your body.

This may sound crazy, but I would prefer to keep it as low as possible. I know it would fit if I had a 4" lift, but can I make it work on stock ride height? Do I need 1" lift? What is the minimum? And what do I need to do?

Even a 2" lift won't really be enough - well, maybe with a lot of hacking. I even had to do some trimming to fit 31" tires on mine with a 2" lift.

Really? Mine has 30" tires and there still seems to be some room.... I was thinking since the other tires I am looking at are an inch wider I might get some rims that are offset an inch off of what I have. .....

I don't really want to go too much higher since I don't have too much room between my roof racks and the garage door..
