tire questions

[tgreene92]

i just ordered and im about to install a 3 inch body lift with warrior shackles and tt. im not sure if ill be able to fit 33's without any fender trimming which im trying to avoid. im wondering what size tire in metrics that i could go with without trimming the fenders. i could go with 32's but im wondering if theres a metric size in between 32's and 33's that will work

Just playing around with the tire size calculator here http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html and came up with two intermediate sizes: 275/75/16 (32.2") and 285/75/16 (32.8").

If you have different sized rims you could play around with this to get an idea. Keep in mind though that not all 33's are actually 33" (often less and rounded up). Likewise, not all 285/75/16 will measure exactly 32.8" in the real world. Good luck!
