Another master class from Tinkerers Adventure in setting up the suspension for tire clearance. In an intuitive and easy to understand visualization of concepts. Hat tip to such a well produced video.
I often get messages asking how I've fit full fat 35x12.5s. It's exactly this recipe of only as much offset as necessary, no UCA, and a moderate lift enabling alignment that maximizes clearances. A moderate lift may not appeal to all, but when it creates the opportunity for more tire and resultant tire lift, it's potentially a better way. Add to that the additional benefits of larger tires that increase clearance at the pumpkin, improved approach and departure angles, and less toe steer as the suspension cycles in the sweeter part of its geometry.
