Torque Staff Report


The following chart is designed to show an approximation of which size tires can fit on a vehicle after installing a lift kit. All lift heights are based on suspension only lift heights. Body lifts can be corresponded by using the lift height (if no suspension is on the vehicle) or by adding the size of the body lift to the current suspension lift height. This chart is intended as a reference guide only. The following measurements are based on the vehicle at full suspension travel (full flex) with standard width tires, wheels, and off-set. Wider tires will require alternate wheel widths and backspacing measurements.
