new to the rodeo scene but i love my rodeo i race civics and smash them ahaha i just need some help with a lift.


does anyone know the biggest and widest tires and wheels i can fit on my 98 rodeo? i heard 31x10.5 any suggestions on where i can buy a lift kit i heard calmini makes a lift kit anyone had any experience with them?

 

Calmini is a waste. Half the parts you dont need and the upper control arm they supply to fix camber issues usually just causes more problems.

Call Matt at Independent4x He will set you up. Thats where most ppl get the stuff to lift.

The biggest you can fit without a lift is 30x9.50, with a lift you can probably put 31x10.50 (would have to trim the fender a bit without lift). With a lift and a little bit of trimming of the fender you can put 32x12.50 which is as big as I would go with stock gearing. Can go larger with more fender trimming.

What needs to be trimmed is the very bottom of the back edge of the fenders. Its low enough that you cant notice unless you know its there. Oh, and a litte bit of the front fender plastic but again not noticable.

Here is a pic of one with 32's and 3" lift (not mine but I helped lift it and trim the fenders)..


If you look at the back edge of the wheel well opening where the mud flap would go you will see its kind of angled back a little bit instead of straight down. Thats what has to be trimmed to fit 32's. Also a seam inside the wheel well needs cut/ground/pounded flat but will never be seen. Wider wheels or ones that stick out farther would need more trimming then narrow and tuck in the fender. His wheels are 15x8 with 3.75" backspace.
