Finally got some pics taken today before it snows again tonight.

As you can see, the tire barely touches the front fender...gotta unbolt that thing.

Looking good! Nice job!

Thanks, definitely psyched about it. You're looks sweet also. The DSM is really growing on me. What interior do you have?

Looks sweet! I'm waiting for the KORE lift and now that I see how little space there is with the front I wonder if I need to step up to a 6inch lift.

With my Dodge you could fit 35in tires stock and with the 3in front and 1in rear 35's fit nicely with lots of room.

Yup, the picture was taken at the closest the tire could be to the fender. It actually doesn't touch the fender...just that little flap that sticks down. The tire is less than a figure width from the upper control arm also.

What's the back of the tire to the fender look like?

Did you have the alignment done yet?

That's just bigger than a 33" tire, I thought there was more room than that, the offset of those OEM wheels makes it a tight squeeze.

Nice truck too!

Tundrabuddy,
Nice, that's what I'm looking to do with tires. Do you know the offet of the stock 20 wheels? Could you have gotten those tires in there without a lift?
Thanks

Thanks! The rear is close also, but there is no rubbing, not even on the skid plate. Yup, I had the alignment done...made a huge difference for sure. The tires are 33.2" I think. It is definitely tight between the tire and the upper control arm.

welcome to the club, looks good.

Looks great! Do you think you could fit 34" or 35" tires on the factory 20's? it looks too close to the front bumper to get much bigger . I was thinking of some 275 or 285 width michelins or toyos but I'm not sure they would fit??

TundraBuddy · #13 (**permalink**) 03-15-2008, 11:11 AM

There are plenty of people putting 35" on...the width is the major thing. With 35" I'm sure you'd have to trim the skid plate. I am close, but not enough to trim it. As for the "front-fender-splash-guard-thingy" that's gotta come off, because it's scary as hell to hear that rubbing on the tire.
