I was hoping if some one has some pictures of a sidekick with a 3" calmini or other 3" lift with 29s or 30/9.5/15 on it.
Just wanted to see if they are a good fit and that there is no rubbing.
Thanks

my father's sidekick has the calmini 2" body/2"suspension lift and 30"bfg all terrains and we love it. there was still just a little trimming necessary, but just plastic. i hope i can find some pictures for you, i will look.

That would be great!
I'm getting the 3" Calmini sus lift this week but I'm still not sure what to go for the tire size. Everything is still stock in my 90 sidekick. I'm going to get 15x8 rims with a 4" inset. I hope that will work. I'm thinking of 30/9.5/15 mud terain tires to put on those rims.
Thanks for the pictures. more pictures welcomed

You can easily put 30" tires on a track/kick. I have 30's on mine with just a 2" coil spacer lift. ;D

30x9.50R15LT Goodyear Wrangler MT/R, on 15x7 rim, 3.75" BS, "Pro Comp Rock Crawler" black steel rim.
Since I got the tires, I haven't done "serious" playing around (such as rocks) to flex it enough to see if they rub. Calmini recommends 3.5"-3.0" BS for a 30" on their 3" suspension. I'm running 3.75" because that's the rim they sell (without shelling out $$$ for a custom-backspaced rim). The only other option was 15x8, 2" BS and that would make my tires stick out VERY far. By keeping it 3.75", they tuck in nicely (I was going to have a 1/4" spacer plate installed when mounted the tires and aligned, but tire shop said my lugs too short for safety).

Thanks for the pictures. Nice rig. I like the colour too...LOL I got 30/9.5/15 procomp mudterians x5 on 15x8's with a 4" BS. There is no rubbing and the only trimming I did was right in front of the front tires, the plastic trim on the bumper I trimed it 1/2 an inch and all is good. Although My front tires are sitting like this \ / I have been told that they will lower in time 3 week to a month. I will be putting on the front Calmini bumper at some point and I hope that wil help it.
I like your bumpers where did you get them and how much?

FYI
Not exactly the info you are looking for, but I installed 30x9.50R15s on 15x7 rims with no lift.
Front Fender: Timmed the rear portion of the front fender, and hammed down the seam.
Rear Fender: Required some triming on the front portion.
No tire rubbing lock to lock, but have not tried lock to lock with the suspensoin fully compressed.

Bumpers are from Trail Tough in Oregon. I had contacted Linda there before purchasing and asked about making the front bumper custom with the hitch instead of the winch mount (their site only lists the winch mount bumper), and she said they've done them before and with no extra charge to me, I got the front bumper with the receiver hitch in it instead of the winch plate. TT made the sliders too, so I got TT armor on all 4 sides and they look GOOD and installed easy.
Just make sure you can drill a hole straight through a box frame...I made the mistake of letting the drill bit wander too far off center and I had to elongate my holes in the frame for the nerf bars to mount...I was stupid
