OK, nice set up but if you could find them, go with a 29x10.50 or something a bit wider than a 9.50. Not to be rude or anything but tires really look nice being a bit wide.

SB, What are you ground to fender measurements?

ill let ya knwo when i get my truck back should be done soon here ill measure the front and back, i honestly dont remember what thread i asked you on but soon ill also be getting my add a leafs so the rear will change with that, and actualy they will be about 10" wide, the 9,5 are never 9.5, usualy are between 9.8 and 10.2 from what i have seen, and the 30" is susualy under, like 29.8
and now i have 28x10
and i have to deal with snow, wider tires on snow. like mud, means more flotation, and floatation on snow sucks because its harder to control, so wider tires from what i have driven, suck on snow
right now with 28" tires im going to guess about 35" from ground to the bottom edge of the peak hight of the fender
so in the very muiddle of the fender
prolly about 35", thats a guess, about 6 inches between top of tire and the top of the fender, ill also measure from the rockers on the front part of the door to the ground when i get my baby back

actual dimensions on those tires are 29.6"x9.9"
so they are shorter and wider than the class size they are under, also, should i get 15x7 or 15x8 AR-39s?

oh and what is our stock basckspacing?
i also forgot to mention, im getting rims and tires for $89 each at a local place in town, they are great guys there, and i get 30 day test drive thing with thte tires so if they dont work out i can exchange them, i would have gone with the BFG ATs but they were $120 per tire, im saving $120 on the tires, cuz im a tight wad

GO WITH THE 15x8s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trust me. 15x7 seem ok now, but after you lift or mess with your truck for a while, would wish you had the 15x8s. I got the 15x7s to "be safe and keep my truck close to astock." Major F-up. Now I wanna run 31x12.50s but to do that, I gotta get a new set of rims. so double the price to move up to them. I am now thinking abuot just going with 31x11.50 BFGs or something like a Genral Grabber, MT, or something like that. I also like the Laredo MTs. But get 15x8s...

i was going to go with the Grabber MTs but they would wear to fast, be too noisy, and fling mud and salt all over my truck, it was not worth it for the amount i would be using them
what backspacing stock?
the ones im getting are 3.75 i think? close enough to stock for me, if thre 30s dont work ill take them up on the 30 day test drive thing and go with the 235s
MY TRUCK MAY BE FIXRD BUT MY DAMN LITTL BROTHR CANT LEARN TO TAKE A FLEEPING MESSAGE!!!!!
AAAHHHH
gatta wait till tomorrow, maybe pick her up then off to the tire place
