Default well guys 275/30 fits!!!! WOOOOT WOOOT!!!!



some of you guys may know i was stressiing over 275/30 not being able to fit!!!well it does fit lol 275/30 fits!! it looks like i can throw a 285 on there but i duno yet!! It cambers a little bit and it looks like it may poke out a bout a .5" but nothing very noticiable. I would still need a fender shave if i want to go lower! Im going with a 235 up front so i think ill be fine there but i think i should really check and see how much clearance i have up front with the 255/30. anyways here are some close up of the gap between the tire and fender lining in the rear with my tire and rim. what you guys think ???

welll i have some new pix on page 3 with the fitment with 285s

255/35/19
275/30/19

Rear clears without a problem.
Front need to roll/cut the fender and remove the inner fender liner.

I think it's because his rear wheels are pretty aggressive in which case he might have needed to stretch a 255 or so to clear.

Good question!

If the black fender arch trim is still on there and they don't rub,
the offset can't be that aggressive.

I ran 305/25-20 with an aggressive offset and made it work.

Fender shaving isn't that big of a deal. Not like the car is a Bugatti or something!
