My mada is stock height and unfortunately i cant lift it bcus its 1/2 inch frm touching the top of the entrance of the garage(its an underground garage btw). I HATE the stock contis so i will be changing them soon. I saw a member who did 18" KMC rockstar with 35" BFGoodrich KM2 tires. Will these fit at STOCK height without rubbing and will the height of the car be lifted bcus if i cant get it in the garage then i'm screwed:(. I would also put nitto terra grapplers if they fit.

I am pretty sure they will rub. I believe that 33" is the largest you would be able to go. I am sure others will chime in too.

Will 33" nitto terra grapplers be gud with 18" KMC rockstars? I wanted to go with 24s or 26s but theres a LOT of potholes in nyc so im not risking it. IDK what to do bcus I wanted to lift my mada 6" like drauden but I cant bcus it wont fit in the garage. Im tryin to find a nice combo with the 18" KMC rockstars without having to lift the truck. Any advice is appreciated guys.

The Nitto 33" will fit with no problem as long as the Rockstars are not too wide. I am running Nitto terra Grapplers on 9" wide wheels with no problems. You might have a problem with the height though since you only have 1/2" of extra height in your garage. My OEM Conti's had an outside diameter of close to 32" and the Nitto's have an os diameter of close to 33". That raises your Armada by 1/2".
I would remeasure your garage height before putting these on.

I measured again and its 1/2 inch from the entrance. What do you guys suggest since i never had aftermarket rims before. I wanted to go with 24s but its nyc and theres alatta potholes. I know i wont be going higher than 24 and lower than 18. I love the look of draudens mada with the 6'' lift but i cant do that. I also love the look of the chrome 24s but im afraid of cracking the rims. What would you guys suggest? i cant make up my mind at all

Maybe take off ur roof rack, that'll give u more clearance. Unless u use them. 22 with more meat on the rims so u won't dent it with potholes? 17 with beefier threads maybe? To give u the aggressive look with the height?

Richard: Unfortunately i use the roof rack in the summer when we go on fam vacation. we cant fit all the stuff in the car. I'm thinkin of goin with 22s although i love the big tires with the 6'' lift. Ima look around the websites to see what i like for 22s.
Rob: I live on the lower east side. A couple blocks from beth israel hospital on 1st ave

Thanks Trevor. Yeah i like the look of 24s and 26s but thats not a possibility. Even with the stock 20s there are some potholes that it feels like ridin in 26s. My choice is 22s. Now its time to start checkin out websites nd see what kinda rims ima go with. Thanks for yur help bro
