Anyone fit 29.5 M/T's without any cutting of the inner fenderwell?

I can trim the front metal and the rear bumper cover, but I don't want to section the inner sheetmetal righ now.

Well i started fitting the 29.5W tire in my thirdgen wheelwell just to try to make it fit and i'm running 15x10 with 6.5" of BS. So that would be like you running 8.5 versus the normal 7.5" because most 15x10 on thirdgens use 5.5".

i can tell you right now that i had to cut off the bumpstop completely and also if i wanted to continue to try and make them fit i would need to at the minimum cut that piece that "bows" out a little as flat as possible

Also..the section width on the W tire i believe is half an inch wider so if i had to fit the normal 29.5 tire i wouldn't have too many issues

hope some of that helps

My 29.5x10.5's (non W's)fit inside the wheelwell with no cutting required. I did have to do a good bit of hammering, though, but no cutting.

Thanks guys.

I'm gonna run the car on the current 28's first (when it's done) and then order some tires.
