Suspension Tire fitment and geometry with a 30mm lift
Tire fitment and geometry with a 30mm lift
I am looking to get some new shocks to refresh my wife's sport 2015 all4 s and planning on Bilstein b6's. I also need a set of winter tires but figured while I was in there...
little looking around and I saw there is a modest 30mm lift kit (block's on top of the shocks) that with the sport packs -10mm should get me +20mm over the standard mini height. Add that with some bigger tires and I figure I can get a ~2-3" total lift.
It looks like the max people are running are 225/50r18's on stock rims with the stock suspension and no rubbing. (+.88" overall height)
If I'm doing the small 30mm lift could I go with a 225/55/r18? (+1.76" overall height)
With that modest lift, will I need to do anything to be able to get the alignment back in spec? (links in the back, control arm links, more camber adjustment in the front etc?)
Basically want to figure out if there will be any extra headache and if I can get the bigger tires in, or I will probably leave out the lift and put the 225/50r18's on it
Thanks!
