Think I need fender flares? aka can't wait to get my new rims with 2" less backspacing /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

 

[sled_dog]

oh and do you think I will need to trim at all? /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif

 

[ben427]

Id love to see what the turning radius will be in even less backspacing and those wide tires...... methinks there gonna rub the spring quite heavily.

 

[sled_dog]

Fender contact is the issue for now, I don't think its gonna get near the springs. How many others run the same setup here? 39.5s, 4" lift, 4.5" backspacing

 

[smokkey1]

how wide are the tires...



justin

 

[sled_dog]

39.5x13.50x15, mounted on the recommended 15x10s

 

[smokkey1]

how about the new rims your going to get??? if you can maybe mounting those tires on 15x8 rims to make it a littles narrow and you should be fine...

I have 6" of lift and 4.25" of backspacing, but my tires are almost 3" wider than yours.

I've had no issues hitting the springs. Had I not moved the axle forward they'd still be beating the hell out of the floor boards though.

new rims will be 15x10s as well. I will be buying 15x8s and adding Cybrfire Beadlocks to them.

[Resurrection_Joe]

Damn nice, nice place you have there too!

 

[bablazer73]

I ran 40's with 4" on 15x10's with 4.5 backspacing. never hit springs, but hit the firewall when flexed out.

 

[Mudzer]

You gonna run that one backwards? Looking good man, you will like the 40" IROKs!!!

My Ferty Twos will be here in about a week.

 

[sled_dog]

DAMN YOU, 42s are next /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif, no my buddy is lending me the rims and mouning the tires for me. He has 2 chrome 15x10s and 2 whites, so he put the one side on chrome and the other on the whites. Just hasn't put the whites on yet. So bascially that tire will be my right rear.

I hope you're keeping the bug-shield on the hood. That thing is How's the truggy coming along? /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

Quite right. Just gonna run this for the coming summer and change. Hopefully I will have time and funds next winter to build a truggy or even a straight off buggy. We shall see. Don't think the K5 won't get bashed and converted to a truggy through the summer. I don't feel right if I'm not cutting and welding all the time. Bug shield is coming off, I would leave it but I am skinning the hood so its just a piece of sheet metal so that alone could bend it /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. Leaving the grab handles on the sides /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Darn! I'm sure there's a way to attatch it without bending the hood. The chicks dig high performance parts like that! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
