Author Topic: Tire clearance and TSL question (Read 19388 times)

Rebeltilldeath3 · « **on:** Mar 01, 2005, 05:55:27 PM »

I'm sitting on a 5" lift, 1992 pickup. Could I fit a 35x12.50? Where would I need to trim?

Also, how are TSL's road manners? Noise is not an issue. I'm wondering about snow and rain.

the TSL'S are a good tire for street, and the tire clearince, well somwhere on here is a thread where a guy has pics on his truck, showing where he cus his fenders but its pritty easey to see where u need to cus, like the corner by the door

I thought it might hit when I turn my wheel, I don't think the tire would rub if my wheel is straight.

What width and offset ar eyour wheels? If you have 35" tsl's Im gonna guess they are ssr's?

Honestly, I have no idea, my dad had put them on a while back.

Ive got 35x12.5 BFG's on 15x10 wheels, 4 inches lift. they hit the bottom rear corners of the fenders and the firewall. I trimmed and inch or so off the fenders, and massaged the firewall wiith a hammer

Tsl's suck ass on the street i have slid throuh tons of red lights when its wet out. and when its icy or snowy I can break my tires loose at 35 in 3rd but offroad the kick some major grandma

If you have slid through tons of red lights maybe you need to slow your stupid ass down? My 92 Aerostar with 221k can break the studded snow tires loose at 35 in drive when its snowy or raining too whats your point? Id be willing to bet that Ive put more miles on swampers than you have driven. If you dont like them dont buy them. Get bfg's like all the rest of the sheeple.

Watch it old man! Lets see your van would wup my runners ass 33's and stock gearing on a 4 banger let me guess you got the six in that van that sounds like a fair comparison if you are a retard. And who the hell said i didn't like them i love them and i'll buy them again and again.

It was a comparison based on your stupid excuse for an argument that swampers suck on road. You are a high school kid get used to being proven wrong. Ill be here to do it for you.

Edit: And no my van will not beat a runner with even 38's and stock gearing. Try again.

Mike D · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 03, 2005, 02:43:44 PM »

Dude i can bearly get up to freeway speed and your comparing that to a van, that sounds like a shitty way to try and prove a point

Edit: My aunt had a 91 aroestar and my parents had a 94 and yes they are much faster than my runner

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 03, 2005, 02:51:34 PM »

sounds like yuo've got a pretty screwed up runner then

Mike D · « **Reply #14 on:** Mar 03, 2005, 02:58:00 PM »

it has 3.90's and I doubt that the shot rear axle bearings would have helped that

Sorry sonnyboy, my 90 had 3.90's and 38's and Ill guarantee the van would not beat it. You can try all day and still get owned on this topic. My van has a 3.0 not the "hotrod" 4.0.

WRONG! There is not way that you have 3.90's in your runner. 3.90's were never available in a ifs diff. They came out in early 80's 4 speed equipped trucks only. If your gonna try and lie your way out of this you'd better try harder than that.

Mike D · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 04, 2005, 07:19:31 PM »

well then why does my rear have a 3.90 ratio. Hmmm... go figure. and yes both the vans my parants and my aunts had the 4.0

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 04, 2005, 07:23:57 PM »

Because you cant count silly! The only ratio's that were available in 87 runners were 4.10 and 4.30 if you had an auto. Just face the facts, your wrong get over it.

OOOO mike wut ya gona say to that??? sry mike but hes right they had 4.10's, and i bet thats wut u have, but i could B wrong

Mike D · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 05, 2005, 09:44:15 AM »

WT Its sitting on the bench in my garage right now and I already counted the teeth on it cause the pinion gear has to much play in it so i was going to put my 85 front axle 3rd on it but that had a 4:10 ratio. And people do change things sometimes you know or maybe you can't comprehend that.

scheid6996 · « **Reply #23 on:** Mar 05, 2005, 06:13:09 PM »

OOO WT wut are u gona say to that??
