2021 lift and tire size

[Rodwilsonsr]

I am putting an Anderson 1.5 inch lift on my 2021 touring xt.
I had a 2017 3.6 and put the Anderson 2 inch lift on and loved it.

The 2021 has 18 inch wheels, I'm wondering if I can use a 17 inch rim and clear the calipers? I was thinking about the 17 inch rims so I could get a little bit of a taller tire.

I'm also wondering what the biggest tire I can fit on the 18 inch rim or 17 inch rim? Even if I have to use a small spacer.

Thanks
Rod

Look into the older STI's that had the 17's they should clear the calipers. Just make sure its 2005+ as the 2004 has a different bolt pattern. We have a onyx xt in the showroom with a 2" lift on 235-60-18's and there is plenty of space to go with bigger tires. Check this out https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2239019
