I've decided I'm going to try and run a 315/70/17 now that my stack is done on the SL. I'm going to trim the rear fender and I'm not sure of any more trimming that will have to happen. Here is a visual of roughly how they will look. (NOTE: the best way to view the difference in the pics is to save both of them, then flip back and forth in Windows Photo viewer or equivalent. You don't really notice the difference looking at them below.)
CURRENT:
Projected: (106% resize on the tires but NOT the rims)
Now who wants to buy some 285/70/17 duratracs with about 50% tread left for cheap?
DUDE! How high are you going to get? (some of us need not answer that question....) That's sweet! How are you accomplishing the 6" (dont insert joke here |||2for3|||)
It's actually relatively cheap and easy to get from 4" to 6". I've got 2" spacers in the back and bilstein struts/ Rusty's spacer for 1.5 inches up front.
It drives and rides great as it sits but I may need to add an adj track bar and adj control arms over time. We'll see. I def want JBA UCA's up front.
I almost had a straight up trade!! Some guy had a Craigslist post wanting to trade 315/70/17 duratacs on his chrome wheels for 285/70/17 tires on black wheels. I offered him cash to trade tires only and he declined. That made no sense to me but whatever.
