will this tire work - Page 2

From the front.

And a side shot from the back showing how much the tires stick out from the wheelwells (3/4" more than stock.)

LoveTheX--hope this helps. You can probably fit them those tires in if you don't mind befriending a Sawzall, but the backspacing on the wheels will probably give you problems. And I second the recommendation for a beefy steering setup if you do get them.

What's going on with that rear bumper and quarter panel protector?

gothamist · 11-20-2002, 10:21 PM

A good friend of mine picked up a really sweet Miller MIG, and lets me use his garage whenever I want...so I've been building a few things. He's got a whole lot of tools I don't have (i.e. plasma cutter, Bridgeport mill, etc.) which make building stuff a hell of a lot fun.

Anyway, that was all the impetus I needed to make my own bumper...and I decided to ditch the rear quarter panel plastic while I was at it.

Here are some pics.

Sorry, didn't mean to steal the thread. Oh well.

well thanks for all the help everyone, i really appreciate it and u have a very sweet looking x gothamist. It is very bad ass.

Seems you're the 4th on 35s, not the second. There's the silver one in NJ, then Stormy in NH, some guy in a yellow one that surfaced recently, and now Gothamist. Then of course Pika and the 36" swampers...

Who'da thunk it...

Check that, they are the only ones " on line " I am sure there are others.

Ok everyone thanks you all very much for the help!!!!!!! However, i have some final questions. Gothamist those are 12.5 inch wide tires on your truck in the pictures, correct? And when u ordered the specially made rims for your X what backspacing did u get on them and what was the rim size 15x7, i think u mentioned? Also, this is what i wanted 33x12.5x15 in tires on my X. With this i will get a 3" suspension lift, 3" body lift, a slr steering stabilizer, an arb front bumper with the brush guard, and.....what else would i need to ensure a sturdy ride? and to prevent rubbing? Did u have to do alot of work on your X gothamist?

and again thanks for any help!!!!!!

Don't forget the HD steering system you're going to need with that setup. Gothamist and I both have the Spencerlowracing.com one.
