Aren't you hitting the fenders when the suspension compresses?

No, I have about 3" of compression travel on each side. With camber gain (negative camber) in compression it's inside the fender.

Even with a stick axle you would get that effect, unless both sides compressed at the same time, like going over a speed bump really hard.

I'm thinking of going to Nitto's (running GS-DS3's right now), or going back to 275's on the rear. I wanted to get peoples' opinions first.

I like it. Wonder what it would look like if the fronts came out just a little bit? (Flame suite on...)

I also agree with everyone else. Looks very good and doesn't stick out at all. Appears to be flush with the rear fenders. Nice wheels. How much dish are on those rears?
