    Can I put a 295 on a 3" lift without triming? I have a -backspace wheel at -4.5 on a 17x9.

    Thanks!

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...

    sorry I thought the width was the key element. I am looking at the 295/70/17. It a hair wider than the 285 and smaller than the 305 and a lot cheaper...

    You will have to trim.

    That is what I was thinking... I imainge if I throw a hundred pound bumper on the front it might even require more triming, huh?
