I'm confused with my swamper calculations

Hey Ray
Don’t suppose there’s any chance you could take a couple of sneaky pictures of your neighbours van with 225 please?

Will these do? It’s on standard suspension

No I should get mine around the end of April all things being equal, and who knows with the way things are.

I’ve run 225 65 R17 KO2 and currently running 245 65 R17 KO2.

They both fit without modification on standard suspension on the 4Motion California without the table in the sliding door rubbing. There is very little mud clearance between the outer diameter of the tyre and the rear of the rear wheel arch though. I really need a lift.

... so how much extra ground clearance did you achieve ?.. going by your top pic it looks considerable, unless your jack still has the weight !
Great look too

The Jack still has the weight. I would be very happy with a suspension lift like that.

Sorry I don’t have any measurements for you. I’m still on standard suspension. So the only additional ground clearance is in the sidewall of the tyres. It’s pretty small but does just take my California over 2m in height which apparently is an issue for some car parks. Not that I’ve found any yet.

Lifted suspension is my next mod. I’m undecided between static and air.

.... if you still have them, and if you get time, could you please measure your old wheel plus tyre and compare it to your new wheel plus tyre measurement. That will give an indication on standard suspension how much extra ground clearence you’ve achieved .... Cheers Lee

`or you could type the size into will they fit and that will tell you exactly the extra
