thats the same im running. theres gunna stick out like a ****, not that, thats a bad thing, i love looking out the mirror and see the tires turning lol you might clear. with my 35's and stock supsension they were rubbing on the back of the wheel well and i only needed about half an inch to clear. you might be fine. just wondering who you buy the wheels from. i love my eagles.

i like having them stick out.. gives it that agressive look.. how much lift are you running??? im guessing a 5 inch and that picture on the bottom where you have it jacked up is what it'll look like with a 3 inch body on top

oh when i get stuff powdercoated black by me it looks like liquid black glass. makes me feel all warm inside you would have to call around. if you want it done really good it might be like 80 a wheel but then again idk. im just guessing
