He is running a 17" ATX wheel with the same size tire as in my sig but his is the MTZ not the ATZ.

and it rubs hehe, I think it's also because the front sway bar is off. I got most of the rubbing off by cutting the inside of the fender (I need to cut a little more), but I'll need a little bit of body mount cutting

I have 285/70/17 on 17" american racing ATX Predator teflon

I was away thursday to saturday

now I'm back.

and I think the rubbing would not be as bad if I

1- had my suspension lifted some more
2- had kept the sway bar.

no worries, life is busy. ill give you a txt or pm today/tomorrow

i am going to keep my sway bar, and i think the lift will be toytec ultimate lift kit, good for 2.5-3" (so i expect some trimming)

my only debate now is MT or ATs - leaning towards BFG ATs

The wheels have 4.5 backspace (-6mm offset) and are 17x8.5

17x8 and/or different offset would probably help. If my tire was "in" a little, it would clear the fender when stuffing inside the well.
