I got my new tires mounted and on Today. Went from 31" MTR's to 32" Kumho KL71. Didnt think going up on size would make much of a difference, but it did. The MTR's measured 30.25" and the new are just over 32". Now to get my skid, Rock rails, Shackle and spacer installed.

Wow, they sure stick out in front. I was thinking 3.75" or so. Makes me reconsider removing my flares. I can't have em stickin out like that. (i have 4.0" backspaced wheels but with 10.5" wide tires)

I wanted 4in backspacing, but chickened out and went with 4 and 1/4. Glad I did cause I even with the wide TJ flares they still stick out past the flares about an inch.
