WTF????
do you mean 30mm body lift?
ok , so is it a 80 series , or a 80's model cruiser
so what lift have you fitted , is it a 60 mm spring lift ? and 30 mm body lift ?
I didnt understand the 60 mm OME and then another 30 mm spring ? WTF does than mean ?
Anyway , if it's a 80 series cruiser . you will get 35's under it with 60mm lift alone
If you want your tyre to go through the wheel arch on upwards travel , remove your shockers .

spacers actualy
yeh that sounded a lil confusing i admit its a 80 series cruiser 1991 model it had a 50mm spring lift but came up 60mm and a 30mm spring spacer put in to bring it up 90mm so allmost the same as a 4inch lift but not so ilegal
but i just wana know will 35's go thru my wheel arch or more so my flares wich sit a bit lower than the botom of my wheel arch cos a 12i tyre will sit about inline with the outside of the flare.

Its all in your offset
If you have the same off set as std GXL rims, you can fit 36 Q78's with just 2" coils. - I did it at Stump Hill Ateco - who can remember my wife's 80 series at stump hill? - Oh boy..
If you have wide off set you will hit the wheel arch on the back. All big tyres will rub the inside of the wheel bay in the back. Make sure you have no sharp nasties or gas lines exposed. It's only light rubbing and if everything is smooth let it rub.
As for tyres - go the XT's if they are your only set. Better road manners and wear than BFG. Also XT has stronger walls and is better on rocks and loose stony surfaces. BFG may be better on clay.
