    I'm wanting to get a lot more meat on my truck but I literally can't lift it due to height restrictions at home. Can I do flared fenders and just hunker it down more over them?

    I'm thinking something like 10.5 or 12.5 wide...

    It's my understanding there's a clearance concern with the UCA and body mount, so why not just get lower offset wheels to get it away from the UCA?

    You could always run spacers. Bora, All-Pro, Spidertrax etc Bora is having a GB til the end of the week, Friday the 18th.

    I have a question on spacers. I have a 2014 DCSB. The stock wheels are 17". Could I go with 1.75 spacers all around or would they rub?

    I'd rather do it the right way with lower offsets. :) :cool:

    To tell you the truth, I forgot they came with that size...So then that begs the questions what size tires does the op have to start with.

    265s, so 10.43. 12.5s would be the obvious upgrade here in width. :)
