Would this size fit with a leveled front, a wheel with 4.5" BS (0 offset) with no rubbing/trimming? I've got a set of 285/70/17's coming but was wondering if the next size up would fit. They would be going on a 2wd with the PRG 2.5 front, if that makes a difference.

The PRG is nothing short of awesome BTW

Loufish is running those on his truck

Inner sheetmetal done...34" tires clear Hmmm, it looks like *No* I'll have to leave well enough alone and stick with the ~33" tires. I'll post pics, when the AR Beadlocks (fake-locks) are on with the new shoes

Oh sorry. Missed the no trimming part in your original post.

No sweat!

It looks like lousfish rebuilt the whole inner fender area...that would definately not pass the "no mod" moratorium (spouse imposed). Now fixing a factory 'defect' like the truck not being level and replacing incredibly dangerous tires (another factory 'defect')...now that we can do

As soon as Detroit releases the locker, I'll no doubt find fault with the factory dif...

Well, since you have an '04, you can find fault with the diff cover and overheating. That gives you the OK to bust open the diff to replace some compenents that were "potentially compromised" by the heat and install the diff locker, new diff cover and upgrade to the 75W-140 gear oil! How's that for a plan?

I'm with yah...

Although my 315's look good(real good if you ask me...) on my truck, if I had my way they would be 305's, but we all know there's no 305 for the BFG A/T.
Yes there were some rubbing issues, but I run factory 17" wheel, I can't tell you if a wheel w/ a 4.5 b.s will rub more or less.
I'll say this again, I hate the look of wheel/tire combos that stick out past the fenderwells. 3/4" is fine, but I'm down on 1-1/2"...

Your truck looks great!!...I just have to have *1* vehicle that hasn't seen a sawzall

That and it's a 2wd and it needs to stay within the realm of sanity for the add-ons (I'm shooting for <$3k for non-wear item additions to keep in in the budget).

I think with a 0 offset/4.5 bs, they will poke out a bit on the sides, but it shouldn't be that far. Any farther?, now that wouldn't be pretty (would no doubt trash suspension components as well).
