Do you have a Sawzall? If so, set tire next to Vehicle & cut to fit. Then install, simple.


<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Acutually, do what lift you want 1st then trim, stock Rigs will rub the front bumper shields with 29's. Keep in mind the stock tires are 27's.

I spent alot of $ with the trial & error. What do you what your Rig to do? Are you going for looks? Ground clearance? Mud & hills? Rocks? Sand? Trees?

31X12.5's with a 4"-5" lift will rub everywhere. Boggers anyway.

Main thing is, what is your end result with your Kia? Go Freeky or go Mild, Either way it's all good.

Might wanna try the mild body lift 1st & then see if ya wanna go higher / suspension then = $$$.

Bottom line is bigger tires mean cut n trim n lift, or rub!

P.S. Backspacing on the wheels is also very important.

Just my 0.02 of what I went thru.
