Default 345 30 19 on TA

Hey guys. Just finished getting a pair of 345's mounted on a 19x12 set of wheels.

If anyone is thinking of doing it all it required was an 1/2'' spacer, longer studs, and a little time with a hammer.

What do you guys think?

Which spacer did you use? Also did you had to cut the bump stops?

Looks good from what I can see. I run a 325/30/20 and all I had to do was do a little hammering.

I guess I don't understand how spacers work. Wouldn't a spacer make the tire stick out more, which would be the opposite of what you are trying to do?

He's trying to get clearance inward, so using the spacer to push out the wheels further from the inner wheel wells.

I'd love to run that size at all four corners, but that would require at least the 'Sunoco Special' flairs/fender bulges, as well as some industrial quality, custom front wheel bearing assemblies.

Ill get some more pics up for you guys. Like i said all it took was a 1/2in spacer. And yes that does push the wheels out more. And I did not have to cut the bump stop at all. It really didn't take much time at all.

Here is the link to the wheels for backspacing info.
