Hi, guys.
I could never afford to have a cool vehicle lifted with nice audio and all that when I was young, but I'm getting to the age now I can afford a fun project like this. I'm headed this weekend to get a 2001 Rodeo Sport, and need your pictures and opinions.
I want to lift it and put some larger tires on it. Nothing too huge--just enough to give it a little more powerful look, much like the 4x4 guys tend to do. Could you guys share some thoughts and pics? I am not quite sure what size looks the best on this little guy.
Thanks in advance, guys. Really appreciate it. |

firstly ... what size tyres are on at the mo....(not sure on standard size on rodeo) but if like the troop's (245/70/16's)
you should be able to put a set of 265/75/16's on without any probs this will increase your diameter from 29" to 31"
and will therefor also give you a 1" lift _________________ LTM NO.41 |

As above go with 31's...go any bigger and it will look cool but will suffer tyre clearance issue that will necessitate further mods, and could then be overgeared with the increase in rolling circumference.
Not sure what engine your truck has, but unless its got plenty of low down grunt then it will be a most efficient clutch eater if used off road with bigger boots than 31's or 265/75's... |
