Not a pro but my opinion is that after seeing TtOrMaMnY's wheel sizes, I'd have to say that these will fit.....BUT, you're going to need quite a bit of fender mods, It should be hellaflush though! Can't wait to see pics!

you can fit the rear with a roll. I have had 10.5 +25 which is roughly the same give or take a few mm.

The fronts should be ok, I have 9 +24 with only the front tabs bent in (did by hand)

It also depends alot on the tire size. With those widths, a 275 rear and 245 in the front should be no problem at all.

hope this helps

again it makes zero sense doing 30 profile front and rear (assume 245 and 275). i don't see any point in doing that

i think that is the correct setup but i need a tire setup that will not rub as much as possible....i know i still need to modify my fenders but the less modding would be better, especially in the front

I ran 245-30 with rolled and pulled fronts and 285-25 with shaved and pulled rear.

I'm assuming you're thinking about buying my old set that I sold for $2,600 shipped including PayPal fees.

I don't think so.....you will scrape a little in the back.


One of my pet peeves is someone flipping parts for a profit.....but maybe it's just me.....
