Would this look stupid?

I just want to know if anyone out there has 35's on an 8" lift. I just recently found out I can crank my coilovers and put an AAL in the back and stick some 37s under there, but my tires are practically new. Would it look dumb if I had 35's on an 8" lift?

If anyone has pics, please, by all means post them!

totally agree, but i need to see pictures to remove this idea from my head. Plus if i cranked the coilovers and did the AAL, i would want 37's on 22's....another $3G's poorly spent.

Can you just crank the coilovers and get an idea? Just don't do the aal yet.

Thats a bold move....I'd have to set aside a weekend for that, but this is my daily driver. It would, however, be a good idea.

you could just wait to crank them until your current tires wear out or atleast get some wear out of them ?

but if you cant i understand patience is not my forte either

It is not going to look stupid. It just wont look as good as 37s would.

Heres 8" on 35s

I wouldn't do it yet. Have you regeared? If you are considering going to 37's, don't forget to factor that it in.

35's would look ok. about as small as you'd wanna go with 8" lift, 38's would be right. maybe 40s

You should really consider re gearing when going with tires 37+. But if you dont then again thats all on you. Either 4.56 or 4.88
