Default Maybe a dumb question?

ok....I installed 315 35 17 ttm's, did the bfg and also a fender roll. offsets are i believe 44mm.....???? btw running nitto extremes.... already did bump stops. If i run a plumb bob down from center of rear fender, and measure over to widest part of sidewall I have 3/16" that the fender is past the tire. Is this enough? I will be on stock suspension height. Thanks!

Its my understanding on stock height, NONE of those mods are necessary...... anybody with more experience feel free to chime in. I have same rims just have not had money to buy tires yet. You have 17x10.5 rear and 17x9 front right???

Yep....Only have rear tires on now..front are on the way! So thats why I was asking. I have read the same but when you measure it looks close. Just wanted to make sure. Guess every car is diff. I def. had to do bump stops. and hammer to be safe.

no pics right now...at work. Basically I think its ok but just was looking for some experts to chime in. All I mean is the furthest (widest) point of tire is 3/16" set in from the farthest outside part of the fender. Is this ok?
