im running 315's on a offraod with 2" leveling witch comes out to a ballpark 4" lift.. and i rub my inner fenders at full lock full flex... and i have a half inch shy of bs then the stock wheels had... 4" of bs on my 16" pro comp wheels


oh .. also..since my truck was lifted originally and then i added a 2" level on it..it pulled my axle back a wee bit.. like a half inch or an inch... so that also makes me rub.. rubbing on just the fender liners usually indicates a pulled axle... i need some new CONTROL ARMS ... id like adjustables to get rid of that stupid caster adjuster but Tani is to chicken to fab me up some..and 300 bones for a metal tube with threads seems outragous to me

so in other words my tires will probally rub the hell out of my fenders.. i measured the tires and they came out to be 34 3/4 inches tall and 12 1/4 inches wide.. on 3 inches of lift

yeah i'll have to call around.. i have a friend that works for AAA that can probally get me a nice discount

you mentioned a BL.. i bet youd get away with it with the BL unless if you start rubbing on the CONTROL ARMS... then BS wil have to save your *** then..

nah i have enough offset in the wheels to not rub on the control arms.. i also already have a 3 inch sus. lift which says on the box "can clear 35 inch tires".. i know if i get a body lift on top of that it'll clear it no problem

another question.. i ordered these wheels off ebay.. but on the site it did not mention what bolt patterns were available or what vehicles its for.. im hoping they carry a wide variety so they will have 5x5.5 in stock.. since it didnt name any sizes in the "comment" section of the billing i put in the year/make/model of my truck and the bolt pattern.. hopefully they will notice it and send the right wheels.. is this something i should be worried about?????
