Hello all,
New to owning a Surf and looking for some advice. I bought a 1998 Surf (gas) and recently purchased a ToyTec 2.5-2" Boss Suspension lift. After installing the front coilovers I noticed that my stock UCA is very close to the tire. I am currently running 7.5x17+30 stock hilux wheels with 265/65/R17 tires. I did order SPC adjustable upper control arms, they are just on backorder at the moment. So I decided to put 1.25 spacers on the front and gained some more clearance for now, but would like to order new wheels instead to remove the spacers. I am living in Japan and some wheel options are difficult to find.
I did come across a set of Method wheels that are 9.0x17-6 and am wondering if with these + SPC adjustable UCA's - would I be able to run 285/70/R17? Or would I still need a more negative backspacing and/or spacers? Im not sure how that 9" wheel would change things against the 7.5" I have on there now.
I greatly appreciate any info.
