Installed, however; the rear lift is not on yet.
On the front tire just in front of the passenger side mud guards there is barely enough room. These tires measure out to 32 1/4 inches on this skinny 7 inch wide rim. I love it, reminds me of old ****** jeep wheels.
In the rear with nothing in the bed and without the rear lift the tires clear just fine even under some flex. I have a 1.5 inch lift for the rear that has not been installed yet.
The rims turned out better then expected but the center caps need to be painted black and some black lug nuts need to be had. I have to still pait or coat the center caps with the dodge emblem yet. But for now they look great. Pics of the truck will be taken tomorrow. Got kind of late and I was working on a buddies 2007 GT mustang.

Awesome can't wait to see the whole truck. Just to let you know (you may know already) The rear blocks will need longer u-bolts. The biggest block you can get away with, and retain the stock u-bolts is 7/8th inch thick.
Tires look sick though, Gained an inch of true ground clearance I'm sure. Wheels came out good.

I know about the rear blocks and u-bolts, currently fighting a guy on ebay to mail them to me. The kit did not come with ubolts but his ad on ebay clearly states they are included. I even emailed him before the sale and he stated they were included. By the way this was TOPGUNCUSTOMS, many may know that these guys are also affilited with Rough Country. So of course THEY SUCK.

Gained 2 inches of ground clearance, my stock tires measured 28" tall. These are 4 inches taller. Divide that by 2 and I get 2 inches in lift over stock. :THUMBSUP:

LoL yeah. wow 2", I did'nt realize they were so big, but I forgot the rims are 17". Nice. Let's see a few pictures!
If you don't wind up getting the u-bolts from them, there the same as the u-bolts they sell in advanced auto (they were grade 6 steel), they sell extended ones of all lengths, thats where I picked up mine.
