Well, I was trying to figure out how to use the image thing, couldn't get it to work, but click the link to see the sportage with a 3" lift, and 265/70R17s... sorry about the image quality.... the dog ate my camera! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> Just for info purposes, this is before the 1" body lift, and I did have to trim the front fenders just behind the tire.

Well, the front spacers are from upyourkia, just like most of us... the rear springs are tj springs, and the body lift is actually shipping spacers they put in the suspension of BMW's when they are new. The wheels are steel, and 17". I got the tires for free, so it ended up being about $400 for the lift, wheels, and tires. Now I just need bumpers!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I like the stance on your Sporty with those thick meaty tires.
Whats the backspacing on your wheels and do you get full turning radius still?
Please post better pics for visual reference with your wheel tire combo?

The wheels have a 4.5" backspacing. I do get full turning radius, but like I said, I had to trim probably 1/2" out of the fenders at first since I didn't get the body lift until about three days later. I dont know if trimming would still be needed if I would have installed the body lift first. Sorry, I have no way of getting better pics right now.

What are the wheels off of? Did you have to machine the center hole? Were they black originally?

They are indeed crager soft 8s from summit. I thought I had said that, but obviously looking back at the original post, I hadn't. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> sorry, didn't mean to be so mysterious!
