> its not really the tires i’m worried about. After you mount them will they clear? And if they do i’m pretty sure they’ll rub when your front end compresses when you go over bumps.

thats why they invented dampeners lol those will be nice nice fatty tire but isnt 9 in the front a bit wide

ya its a bit wide it barly clears, they had shitty ass offset for 17x8’s so i had to go 17x9 all around. it will clear when the front comes down. 45x17 is almost equal to the oem 55x16 in diameter. and 225 wont buldge past my rims in the front so it will clear my shock.

Lol, 9’s too wide for the front?? Not.

It’ll clear everything fine. I’d still put a 10-15mm spacer on though.

Putting them on just like that (no spacers, stock suspension) I am positive it will hit
