Big tires

New to the forum. Anyone ever run a truck tire on their civic? Looking at some 27 inch tall general grabbers. Im basically looking for the biggest mud/truck tire that will fit.

Right. Want to know if anyone has been down this road before and what they needed to do.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

I think the tires under my truck are shorter than that.

Re: Big tires

remove the springs
reassembly the suspension without the springs.
now test tire interference to other parts. don't forget to turn steering all the way, full bump.

you are going likely out of the working range, so expect to do some experimenting yourself, which always means working for it if you really want it.
