FireDodge was talking about DJ Gaston (link in the post by ChillyPhil)

You can put 35s on a stock ORE, BUT you gotta have backspacing of 4.5" minimum. They will clear BUT you gotta grind the body pinch seam on the inner fenderwell. The tire will contact at roughly 50% to lock with slight uptravel. Danny just didn't admit that on his site. You'll see later he bumps the front up with 2" pucks to clear the 35s completely, but it's still very close. I can verify all this with my own ORE.



How to determine OFFSET and BACKSPACING

I guess if he don't sell them today, I'm going saturday morning to try them out on my truck and see how they will do. Might have to get a 3" body lift someday.
