    the front tires should be fine.
    the rears you can easily stick to 225/55/16's

    basically the setup is perfect (except for that random 245 lol)


    put it this way, our trucks are pretty light, and the brakes are plenty strong.
    3% isn't going to make a BIG difference... but say if you drove a 6500lb SUV, 3% is gunna do alot lol

    What are you going to use for flares/fenders... stock 4wd fenders or do you have something else in mind?

    for now i looked at some 1.5inch bushwacker flares but on one of the other threads there was a link to like trailer products or something- i looked at some fiberglass 2inch widebody fenders and quarters they make so i can fit wide 17's next year.

    you want to drop a link to the thread on the trailer fenders if you have it?

    Also... this may be a general question: If you poke on one of these trucks...what is the largest diameter tire you can have with out the edge of your fender eating tire tread? I want a little bit of poke and don't want to hit a bump and chew up tire.

    itll really depend on ur drop, how low? what size tire would u want to run (sidewall) stretch or no stretch? mine are something around -28 offset something like 3inch backspacing.a nice fit would be 8inch or 8.5inch w/-10ish offset. i rolled my fender a little with a bat and it was really only for u-turns and full lock turning. the widebody fenders are on a thread on the site somewhere

    well i have no drop. have a set of 15x8.5's with 3.75 backspace. I live in Kansas...so there wont be a shop within 30 miles that would stretch a thing. so I am thinking 215/55's? 225/50? I want to retain some ride quality so I am looking for 2 inch blocks in the rear and then just enough in the front to make it look even.

    my 205/50's have a great ride quality, low pro enough to handle n look good while still protecting my rim. should look perfect with 8.5inch rim
