In hind sight, I think I should have gone with 275/45r20 which is slightly smaller in diameter but it's a tad wider. It probably would look better and provide more rim protection. As far as clearance is concerned it's probably better to have the narrower tire though.

And I officially have every part I will be putting on this round. So my next update will be picture heavy with the rotors/brakes, coil cut, struts, shocks, tie-rod ends, and then a pic and soundclip of the exhaust.

I had to trim some plastic off the mudflap molding, it rubbed a smidge. I blame that on the +13 offset and 9 inch wheel. Although the tires were a tiny bit taller than my stock 265/70r16. Those are for sale now by the way, not sure how to price them yet but when I do I will post a FS thread.

Thanks keaton, I'm really excited to tear into the front end and get my rotors and such on.

I really can't wait to get the front end a little lower. I prefer the raked look, it just says "fast" to me. Who knows though, I might not like it and I may remove a leaf. But if I do that, I will need to get airbags because I do occasionally haul with this beast.
