I wouldn't spend more just to get the tires dismounted. I'm reducing the price of the whole set to $1000. So you can think of this as getting a free set of tires.
I have never shipped a set of wheels/tires before and willing to ship it as long as there's a carrier provided to pick it up from my...
For the suspension lift, both front and back have to be the same for example 40mm. For shock extender, it can be slightly lower like 30mm and it should be fine. However, you don't want to go without shock extender. Your shock will be damaged during up travel if you go over bumps.
I didn't believe myself when I realized that the mpg didn't get affected that much and in fact it got better than what I got previously.
It's around 21.5-22mpg
My previous setup was stock wheels with yokohama geolandar g015 at 235/55 r19

Offroad tire BFG TA KO2 255/55r18

Hi there, I'm interested in the skid plates. I know you posted this quite a while ago but I do take my cx5 offroad so this is pretty interesting to me. Let me know if you're still on this.
Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm just trying to get a more durable set of tires just because the geolandars seem to be more prone to tearing when taken offroad compared to the BFG. I saw a youtube video where a subaru fitted with geolandar going offroad and it got torn on the sidewall by a medium...
I'm trying to upgrade to 255/55r18 (BFG TA KO2) from 235/55r19 tire (and btw I'm also selling the tire set if you're interested).
What do you guys think of 18x8 ET40 with 255/55r18 tire. Will it rub the fender at maximum articulation and wheel turn?
