This is one of the nicest setups IMO, a perfect wheel and tire size combo for the 200!. Can you tell me how much lift you ended up with in order to get those in there? I'm considering the Bilstein 6112, wondering which perch or if I'll need a UCA with the 295/60/20's

That's a 34" tire on a 0 offset wheel. There's a whole thread deditcated to that topic.

0 Offset on 34s+

Any of you with 0 offset wheels that are on 34s or bigger? What are your driving impressions? I know theres looking to go with a 0 offset 285/75/17 as dd.

Thanks but but I’m interested in the lift height with those 34s not the offset. I believe the BP51’s are a 2” kit? That would equate approximately to 4th perch on the Bilstein setup. Would like to confirm so I don’t have to do it twice. I’m going for the perfect proportions that @rwbmedusa achieved here.

What @lx200inAR is getting at since the 200-series is IFS, lift height isn't necessarily a solution to creating clearance for tires like it does for an 80-series SFA. Lifting an IFS doesn't change the suspension stroke or compression limit, just the ride height. For off-roading, it's just as important for the tire to clear at full stuff.

That said, 0 offset changes things a bit and it's possible for the tires to get into the fender instead of tucking. So you'll probably need to limit compression with taller bump stops. You'll potentially want more lift to have enough compression travel with a reduced stroke.

And this is why it’s such a great forum! So much to learn from you all. Thanks @TeCKis300. So then to be clear i have a set of 20” rims with a 25 mm offset currently on a stock suspension w/ 33s, and hoping to achieve the same / similar look with Bilstein 6112 and 34” tires while maintaining a minimum lift of maybe max 2”?. Is it doable? I’m Considering upgrading to the exact size tire medusa has listed (295/60/20) I know, how shallow of me to want that cuz it looks so good tho it’s certainly not a need . I’m mostly a road warrior/ grocery getter with dreams of crossing the earth some day.

295/60R20s on +25mm offset should fit just fine. Lift won't really matter and it can be an independent decision. 2" will be great. You may not even need UCAs.
