Biggest tire?

Post by Monk »

First off, I'm not doing it. I am more so curious.

I have 40s under a stock truck. And never any issue. I was kind of wondering would 42s fit under there if it was strictly a street Queen.

Or is it necessary for at least a 2in body lift?

I was just thinking it's only an inch in circumference for the height from center, per side and seem like it would fit?


Lol, Or maybe I just think too much, haha.

With 42" tires i believe you will have rubbing issues if not just sitting still definitely driving around(any pot hole etc could cause you damage). I would recommend a body lift before going up to 42's.
 
The 1" doesn't seem like much but you are already pushing it with 40's as it is.

Cliff is correct, tire could rub on hood if you go up a curb...but street queens do not do that...drive error..  :ssh:
