Holy sharp cheddar, those tires look big on the truck. I think they look good though, and am curious on how you got them to fit

Yes, pictures of the front trimming and such. Also, have you articulated the rear axle and verified tire clearance? Since I off road (trail crawling stuff, not desert assault), I'm interested to see the clearance with the the rear tire stuffed the f*ck up into the wheel well.

I am also severely, hopelessly, really really hoping you would disclose the wheel information:

Brand

Width

Offset

Etc.

well first i sat down with these big tires and discussed my future plans and allowed them to express their views on being stuffed under the well. then we reached an agreement that i wouldnt torture them until i do what im about to discuss here

which includes an article for pulling bedsides out 3-4"
and im doing a write up for installing prerunner fiberglass fenders with a 4" flare.
Anyway heres teh pics. rears would probably rubbed if stuffed up there alot. but ive gotten silly around some curbs and a mini jump that our messed up vegas streets has. no rubs upon landing.

RIMS HERE

I just had to trim a little in the front inner fender so the tires wouldnt rub during turning. they are fine going straight. i only have a leveling spacer, body lifts are against my religion. I saw your other post. are you 2wd or 4? if your 2wd depending on what your into, im making a long travel kit. flared fenders and uniballs and the whole shebang. might be worth waiting for if your looking to lift. if your 4wd theres a dude on here that made a kit. might want to get into contact with him. if you got the green.

Those look badass man! Can you tell me the overall tire diameter and width? Am looking at some bfg at 305 65 r17s and have been told they *should* fit with a little trimming and I want to see how the overall size compares to yours.

Lol no thanks. It's a truck not a corvette. Plus my fiberglass fenders and tube bumper will be done so I'm not too worried about it
