33s M/T - Questions

Thank you Riff, I'l have a look-see at those combos.

Big Tire guys, any thoughts on those rotors if I _do_ end up going with the 285/65 on the KMC 18s?

Cheers,

Though I have no personal experience with those particular vendors. I purchased mine from Magnum on ebay, though I can't currently find them there.
IMO, slotted is unnecessary, if slotting really improved stopping dist, you'd see them on race cars.

IMHO, you only need to replace the rotors if yours are bad. The SS brake lines however are a very good idea. Disabling the ABS is also probably a very good idea.

My personal experience is that driving with larger tires requires a wholistic re-learning of your driving style. You don't corner as sharp; you don't stop as fast; you don't start up as fast; you gas up more often; depending on tread design, you'll probably experience more 'wander'; depending on offset, you will probably NEVER drive in the rain with your windows open (even a little). Is it worth it ... you betcha!!! The feel of a VX sitting on big meat just can't be beat.

X a factor of 2...
