Telluride sx lift and larger tires

[psanti]

Can you reset the tire size for the computer in the car?

Not sure if you can.

I think someone else in this thread said you can't?

makes me leery of changing tire size by more than a 1% or so.

Tire Size Calculator will show not only changes in size but also changes in speedometer reading.

I am curious if anyone on here that has done the lift and tire change, still has the car after a few years, how is it going?

I am coming up on one year after installing 265/50r20 Falken AT Trails + Truxx 2" lifts - no problems. I'm much more comfortable now on BLM and fire roads.

I have a 2021 EX with 2.5” lift, 265/50/20 tires and 2.5” spacers. Had the lift about 25,000 miles and the tires and spacers about 15,000 miles. 82,000 miles total on car. Still riding fine.

Anyone know or recommend or not of lifting an SXP XPRO just a little bit more over factory? Maybe an inch or two more?

Hi All,

I wanted to share with everyone my lift. I decided to go with Shark Racing(mfg by Big foot) Heavy duty lifting springs to help with the tow package infamous rear shocks blowing. I had them warrantied before I did this at 25k miles. I did immediately put in the airbags and at about 35k miles put on the springs. Since then I currently have 98k miles and the shocks have held up.

One issue I had was the passenger side hub bearing blew and I replaced with an OEM one and haven’t had issues since. The car definitely rides much nicer in my opinion and not as “floaty” as stock. I’m used to a street legal road course car on coilovers with a fully built suspension, so for some it might be “too stiff”. But everyone that has driven in my car love it and haven’t had any complaints.

The Michelin Crossclimate2 are very soft so I run them at 38-40psi so i can maintain the handling of my preference.

MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE2 265/50R20 111V XL BSW ALL SEASON TIRE

Pictures are with 10mm, but I have gone to 5mm spacer all around because I thought it would fix the rubbing… it still rubs

I also have strut bar, subframe brace/front lower bar, both rear lower bar/rear frame brace,

Over a year already on the 2" Eibach lift springs, 1" Eibach spacers, and BFG KO2's in 265/65/R17 - no problems here.

Anyone tried the Falken Wildpeak A/T 245/60/20? I think it is just what I am looking for. Put the Eibach lift on and ready to upgrade my tires now.

I know a lot of folks who are happy with their Wildpeak AT's. Check the Wildpeak RT's, too.

If you're sticking with your stock 20s, check out the Wildpeak Trail. Still good for dirt roads and snow, but much quieter on the road

Yeah kind of what I'm hoping for.

Just an update 245/60/20 size tire would not fit without rubbing at full turn on the inner fender well. Wonder if adding spacers would help?

I think I read somewhere that an overall increase of 1 inch in diameter is our limit before it starts rubbing. Go to Tire Size Calculator and see what should fit. You can put in my tire size and know that I have slight rubbing at full lock. I've worn off enough rubber and plastic that it's not an issue anymore. Also know that overall diameter will vary slightly between tires.

You still running 265/65/17? What tire you running now?

Yes

I really want to try a 255/55/20 which looks like is still .4 inches taller than your tire but its not as wide. You think the width or height is what's causing you to rub? or maybe offset on aftermarket wheels?

Those are questions for a good off road shop to answer. TBH if you want taller sidewalls, you'll probably want to get smaller wheels.

Taller sidewalls were supposed to be a byproduct of putting this lift on lol. You'd think a 2 inch lift you could do close to 2 inch taller tires. And I am seeing that is not the case now lol. I will schedule an appt and just have to try different tires until I find the combination that works for me. I've considered by spacers but I think I'll just go with a smaller tire.
