From Steve:
Hey the truck is doing great and i get compliments
everywhere!!! Im running 285/70/17 on american eagle 187s. THe offset is
4.65mm. Even with the aggressive offset i still had to do some trimming on
the fender well. I also had to remove the front mudflaps. The acceleration
diff was minimal and the truck rides great. No real tire noise or vibration,
even at 100mph+! Well if you have any other questions feel free to email me.
Also, the lift kit is going up $10 starting July 1st. No control over this due to material costs. If you order before then, you save. : )

thanks alot...
i all ready have pretty similar rims... just need new tires...
i ordered your cornfed kit this morning... ( last day of the sale )..
still wondering about the height issue...
maybe i should start a poll to see how tall everyones rig is..?
cornfed + 285's + roof rack = how tall ?
thanks again for the info...
i'll be sure to upload pics of the before and after....
TWO MORE DAYS TILL MY NEW RIDE !!!!

IF I installed a Cornfed kit, how much big tires can fit? Without cuttin off or take off mud-flap(sp?). I have a P265/70R18...It came with it when I got a 06' T4R V8 Limited model.
The cornfed kit gives you how much do I get the ground cleance? 3' ?
Stock ground cleance is 9.1 ins + 3 = 12.1 ? right?
I need your anwser and opinion...thx.

Generally the metric tire sizes are all about the same size. Some other examples.
a 285/75r16
a 285/70r17
a 285/60r18
and say a 285/50r20
All are essentially the same height of about 33", and since your size is even smaller than these, no problem.

AT 285/70-R17 will rub just to triangles under the bumper.
MT 285/70-R17 will require trimming of the inner fender.
My friend has 285/70-R17 BFG AT and he had only heated and bends those triangles.
I had 275/70-R17 GY MT/R and they rubbed to the inner fender a little bit. So 285/70 will rub much more.

Depend on type of the tire you may have rubbing issues or not.
AT 285/70-R17 will rub just to triangles under the bumper.
MT 285/70-R17 will require trimming of the inner fender.

Yes, Lance is right. I'd recommend get an aftermarket tire carrier or use 275/70; but be careful driving with one tire off-size, you may get in trouble with ABS.
