    Looks like he will be fairly close to me. Get him to join TW and hit me up when he is close. I will take for coffee or something.

    Yes and no.. with my +2 LT kit it sticks out quite a bit haha
    IMG_7495.jpg

    Both of us have 3.5" bs, -25mm offset with 315/75/16 (how ever the cooper stt pros run small) but just to give you an idea. Stick length arms versus my +2. I would say about 3/4" of tread sticks out past the flare on my friends truck. Mine is like 2.5"-3" of tread haha

    It also depends what tire size you want to run. I know 285's rub the frame at full lock/stuff with my old 4.5" bs 0 offset F5's. Plus I don't like the tucked look at all.

    Those are the same size tires?!?! The goodyears run huge from what I hear. I still have time to decide. I currently have about 45kon my tires now. Not quite ready. I will most likely have to get new wheels though. My currently wheels are 16x7.5 with 4.8bs/15mm offset. So I'll either have to get new wheels or run spacers which I don't want to do. Still lots of variables in the air. I will also most likely not be regearing right away so I have to take that into consideration.

    Yup same size tires haha shows the difference between Coopers and Goodyears. And yes you'll need new wheels no matter what for 285 and up.
    What tire size are you going to? My old setup was 4.5" bs and 0 offset with 285's and I rubbed the frame at full lock and a little flex.

    You'd probably like a 285/75/17 tire if you don't mind going to a 17" wheel. 34" height, but don't have the clearance problems/rolling resistance like you do with a 315. 4.56 gears and those tires will feel really nice and get a bit better mileage if you are concerned at all about that.
