Fit and practical are two different things. I'm not some will-this-tire-size-fit-my-lift aficionado. So maybe they fit and are practical. I just know from my own experience that mine rub a very tiny amount at full turn.

You'll need to trim your fenders if you want to use them

Aftermarket control arms are recommended because the tires won't mind rubbing the tubular arms as much as the factory stamped steel ones. You can also adjust your steering stops so the tires can't turn as far. That will, of course, limit your turning radius.

I only trimmed off the lip the the flares bolt to. It really wasn't much at first. The problem was that I couldn't steer while driving. On the back side of the front fender, I had to cut almost all the way to the door to make room for the tires when turning. If I had the Jeep long enough, I would've had to cut even more so the tires could stuff while offroad.

Feel free. You're the reason I did that lift when everyone else on the forum said it was impossible. Now it's common

If I had trimmed anything, it may have been a tiny inner piece of flare plastic. BUT these wheels had stock back spacing and didn't stick out far...

Dude I have no free time or money anymore, and my toys see the **** end of that stick. The cbr needs a lot, it's fun to ride but nothing I feel real safe on. The Yamaha just sucks lol, I don't have insurance on either of them right now.

Ever since I started back at school and went to a part time **** job I've just been a broke joke. I at least got a decent bike though, just needs a wad of cash thrown at it. That's half the battle lol.

I know some people might have their reasons to not trust a Walmart working on their car, but we actually do a pretty good job at mine. These are some 31x10.50s, rims have 4" back spacing, 5x4.5 pattern, that's a pretty good deal, includes road hazard warranty so if you shred one on the trail they will replace it for free lol. We also have a fifth one that we didn't mount yet, so if someone wanted a full size spare we could add another, customer ordered these then backed out. So we were trying to do a package deal to see if people would be interested. Those tires are usually in stock at every Walmart too.
