So I've read a bunch of the great threads but seeing if anyone is running a 1.4L with the daystar lift and which tire and wheel combo you picked? I'm wanting to stay with a 16" wheel but it appears the pickings are mighty slim. I would really prefer to not run wheel spacers if I don't have too. I hopefully will be getting my Renegade next week. They had to ship it from Ohio here. I'm picky. HAHA
This is all here say. I have not added the lift or All Terrain tires yet. But this is what my research has found. Tires: 225/70R16 is the biggest that will fit without spacers. Note: The lift allows for taller tire but you are limited on width without using spacers. Wheel info: To be on line with fenders with the original wheels (et+40) you have to use 30mm with 6,5" and 20mm with 7".... The 1.4 is low on power and the All Terrain tires get heavy real quick. I've posted this chart a few times elsewhere. But try to get the lightest Tire and Wheel combo you can. If you are at all concerned about MPG and power robbing big tires. Add Power to 1.4L. There is a lot of bolt on aftermarket stuff for the 500 Abrath some claim as mush a 80HP gians with aftermarket turbo and things. Big tires need more Power. Good luck!
Thanks for the chart. Now the 1.4L has a turbo installed from the factory. Would it be critical to upgrade that in your opinion?
I would not say what engine mod is for you. Call the experts. Talk to them tell them what you want and your budget. 1.) http://roadracemotorsports.com/store/ 2. ) https://www.modernperformance.com/ 3.) http://500madness.com/
