Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you know if a lift kit or modifications are needed in order to fit cooper ST 33 inch tyres to a standard 75 series landcruiser ute? And also, what dollars should i expect to pay for a 33inch cooper ST just so i know i am not being ripped off.
Thanks you in advance for helpful replies, Cheers.

I had 32 inch by 12.5 inch wide on my 75 series and they didnt go anywhere near scraping.

the wheel offset might be the clincher too you should
check just because it fits on someone elses they may have a different offset to avoid rubbing

Brian if you can stretch to a STT I reckon you'll love them. Quieter on the road than the ST's and better wearing on gravel etc.
I cant remember what I paid but you'd have to expect $330 each at least I reckon

Your
suspension will need to be in decent shape. Ive had 33in BFG and the 2 in lift was needed.
I think your current
suspension would need to be no less than the factory height.
The width of the tyre will play a big part

I've got 33x12.5's on my standard troopy. they have never presented a problem.
Can't help with the price except to say
shop around including BFG's and play em off against each other.
