You may need to hammer in the inner fenders for the rear.

I have the TTM,s. Black rims with polished lip. 17x9 (front) 17x10.5 (rear) 315/35/17
Mine rears were rubbing on the inner fender well, just a hair.
I just beat them in. It wasn,t that bad.

i have ttm 10.5 on my ws6 with toyo proxes tq 315/30/17 . they dont come close to rubbing anywhere inside...though they sometimes barely touch the outer fender lip on hard bumps. i could just roll the fender but i dont want to. it depends on the offset but for me its not bad at all

IMO, I would still get an adjustable PHB. You'll have to remember a lot of the tires run narrow, like the nitto's. So you likely wouldn't have any issues with them, but with tires like the goodyears, or bfg's you might since they run wide.

I really doubt he'll need to do the BFH mod, but rolling the fender lips might be in the cards depending on which tire he goes with.

Yes, the +44 is better but it puts your tires a little closer to the fender lip.

wouldnt that be worse though cause the tires stick out too much, and hit the fender lip?
