yeah on stock fenders.


You need a 3mm spacer in the rear to run the 285's!

There is also two metal tabs that attach the e-brake and the ABS line to the trailing arm in the rear...this needs to be trimmed to be flush with the trailing arm. I would also suggest grinding off the casting flash on the trailing arm for more clearance.

true, thats why i think 255/35/18 is perfect tire size... you just have to play with wheel/offset.
