    why would I post my info? I was clearly posting the picture as an example of what pictures should be provided. everyone in here post pics and says "man looks cool" and then some poor n00b buys the tires/wheels only to find out they fit like poop.

    No need to be sorry. Just be cautious of what you ask and who you ask. This thread should be a good learning experience. Ex. Some people bashed me for providing the correct info and they said I was totally wrong when they had no idea and were actually incorrect. Shit like that happens in here hundreds of times a day.

    IMO your best bet is to always research what you can on your own and when you can't find what you need PM a reputable member with the same product. When you create a thread asking for help the floodgates open up and tons of info is provided some good/some bad.

    I agree with XXXX completely - sorry if it seemed like I was bashing you in my quote that you posted above, I was simply adding to your post by saying that when someone posts pictures like yours (and they're very good pics as i already said), they should also post what their tire/wheel/lift specs are as well.

    on a side note (not directed at anyone in particular) - If people on these forums could differentiate between their own opinion and the real facts, there'd be a lot less confusion on these forums. research and know your data before you go throwing around information and mis-leadnig other people.

    if they rub, you're just making more space. Just turn up the music.

    Dunno, maybe because numerous wheel/tire combo sizes could be that close to rubbing depending on other factors like suspension mods or not and that pic is not self explanatory or worth a thousand words? Seems that guessing at the words and other pics in other posts would be easier to get right than just a single pic of the edge of a nondescript tire close to rubbing on the wheel well. And all that info is just general knowledge for our vehicles too, why not post it? Nobody is gonna drain your bank accts or steal your identity just because you posted suspension and wheels specs & pics.

    minimum 3" spacer lift with 2 sets of spider trax stacked on top of one another should do it.
