Default ordered the rims and tires today, they are.....

This rims
http://www.discounttire.com/dtc/find...&rc=LAVINT&rw=

and these tires
http://www.discounttire.com/dtc/find...false&pc=40197

now when they get here thats gonna be the tricky part... since the rims are 18x10 and the tires are 325 60r18 ( 33x12.8 somthing ) its gonna be tricky to fit on a non lifted HD 4x4 But i just leveled it as right now and the lip of the front fender is right at 39 inches with the stock 245s, gonna have to get them on there to see what kinda clearanceing on the inside to do.

would you mind keeping this updated?

I'm looking for a similiar set up but with 325/50-20 (33") and am wondering about clearance issues as well.

how soon are you getting this installed?

I run a 18x9 with Nittos I don't remember the size but they are 33x13 I had to do some triming on both the front and back some times they still rub. This damn computer I'm on won't bring up the pix. Mabe if I can get to a better one I can see what you have in mind.

That would be great, from the sound of it its the same tires. when u say front and back to u mean inside the fender for like hacking the actuall sheetmetel of the fender twards the door.
