    I am planning on buying Bilstein front and rear shocks, with Eibach coil springs. Would I be able to fit 285/75R16 tires without any rubbing? I would have 4" backspacing and -12mm offset.

    If you flex your suspension off road or whatever you will rub the pinch weld. Also you will probably need to remove your mud flaps. Might rub the frame at full turn too a bit.

    Wha
    What Size tires are you running now? It changes at your rate of speed but 1-2 mph. And will feel a little power lose not a ton though. I am assuming though you have a 3.4 v6?

    I had to trim some plastic where the mudflaps mount and remove the mudflaps just for day to day driving. If you're a street queen, you're done.
