305-315/70/17 Thread

still no rubbing, finally got around to welding a plate into the cab mount which cleaned up the look inside the fender well. My biggest concern before these tires was sidewall clearing the upper control arm, which it does. I’ve trimmed a bit more of the fender, and they are stock fenders. I took them off and broke some of the clips in doing so: I didn’t feel like ordering more plastic clips so I put some (I believe) 3/8” bolts through them to hold them on. This thread diameter threads into the square holes in the body where the plastic fender clips stick in, so no drilling through metal required.
The headlights are spyder LED bar DRL with black housing- so far so good, though I’ve heard they are prone to condensation. I’ve had them since June. I live on the west coast so if anyone is going to experience condensation or water infiltration, it’s me and I have not had any issues. Love the look and I get compliments all the time.
The truck is also quicksand now.

 

How did you secure the front of the fender flat when you put it back?
I used a self tapping screw in the back on the bottom but the front doesn’t feel super on there

 

Hey dude, hate to revive an old thread like this but I was wondering what your specific wheel specs are, backspace, offset and size. Looking at doing some 315/70/17s. I’m pretty set on the Method 701 Trails in 17x8.5, 0 offset 4.75 backspace. Any insight would be really helpful. Cab mount chop is done, pinch weld is somewhat done, 3.5ish inches of lift and high clearance bumper incoming. Thanks! Your rig is awesome btw

 

They were SCS F5’s 16x8.5 with 3.5” baskspace.

 

….I did the same. The first one I measured 20 times like a crazy person and then I realized I can just go for it

 

old thread i know but the truck looks good man
