Couple of kick questions....

[AdamD]

Can I fit 30X9.5X15 on my stock rims? Also can I run 30X9.5X15 without a body lift? 1 more question :D !!! If I put a 2inch Body Lift do i have to do anything crazy, like weld a new shifter or extend the Steering....

Hey is there a Mega FAQ compiled anywhere for the sidekick?

Thanks!!!

And 30's will fit on the stock rims?

Yes no problem. Stock rims are only 5.5 wide and the tire is 9.5 so you have 2" inches on each side of the rim bulging out. This benifits you in three ways. Helps keep a skinny tire on the bead better, keeps your rim from getting as much rock rash and the last and best, reason is that it is cheap. you already have the rims, and if you screw one up there are people on the site that wanna give them away!!!!1

Ok, 1 more question....

Is putting 30x9.5 bad for the Kick? I mean it's just a little engine and all...Would changing gearing be advised or is it fine without?

Not bad I run 32's on my kick all that happens is no big speed on the highways. :rofl:

like flanders said. i wouldn't worry about it. My little 1.3 fuelly drove my 36's at about 80kph max on level ground with 8lbs of pressure with 4.37 and and the 12% reductin in the t-case from the 4.16 gears. equal to a 5.13 R&P only.
It didn't like it but it did it. no fifth gear and still would lose speed on a incline. not a hill but incline.
You won't have near that much trouble.
