I just finished it 2004 SCREW with Daystar 2.5, Weld Velocitys 18X8.5 with 6.3" backspacing, Nitto Grapplers 325X60X18 (33's)
Im no expert but I think the back spacing is the key to No Rubbing. That means no cutting or trimming.

What Cha Think??

I Was torn between 33's and 35's

 

Linky no worky

 

325 = 33's? that seems wrong. I thought 315 = 35's? however I suck at math and I just worked 14 hours so everything seems wrong to me.

 

325 or 315 = width of the tire, not the height. these are both around 13" wide, with the 325 being a bit wider than the 315.

 

The miata tire calculator says the 325X60X18 is 33.4"
The Nitto tire site says 32.99"

I would say 33" is accurate

It is a great tool

sorry for my mistake ... like I said it was a long day. where are the pics??? =)

 

You need to fix that link ASAP. That took me to the point where I could edit your gallery, including deleting those albums.

I almost forgot, that looks good!

Thanks for the help guys..............what cha think??

 

your truck looks good, so you would recommend the daystar 2.5" leveling kit, did you put it on yourself? Nice truck!

 

The Daystar kit works well in getting the front up while leaving you with a stock ride........felt exactly the same, just a bit higher.
I used a local alignment shop that specializes in lifted vehicles.
(250.00 labor charge with alignment) The allignment was out just a bit. You need to compress the springs which can pose a problem for some. I have heard guys on the web site doing it themself. I dont want to get my head knocked off by a spring, so I sent it to the pros. Plus when you have a nice truck I didnt want to chance messing something up.
Hope this helps, RN

Yup that setup is flat-out gorgeous!

 

thanks for the info on the daystar and tires size.

 

Looks great, got the same tires with the daystar on mine also (stock FX4 rims though).

 

Any rubbing...........my buddie has the FX4 and wants to use same tires. He was worried about rubbing with that rim and the 33's

 

Since I put them on I haven't had much chance to go off road but in day to day driving I haven't had any rubbing yet. I am very happy with them just wish I could have went bigger but not with my garage.
