I finally picked up my SCrew. See Specs below.

I need help with the tires though. Going with 16x8 Eagle 143's but trying to decide between BFG AT KO 285/75's or Goodyear AT/S 305/70. (Why doesn't BFG make a 305/70?)

I want to see a front or rear shot of this setup or similar with the 305's. I'm just not sure if they'll stick out too far for my taste. Please help!! I don't plan on any lifts so if anyone thinks these will rub, let me know!

This board has been a tremendous help the past month with my Mod decisions. Thanks!!

I don't have a SCrew, but if you go with the 285's on 16x8 wheels, your tires won't stick out much more than stock (if any). A wider wheel would make them though. You won't have rubbing with 33's.

you probably know that the 305's are wider than the 285s, so these might stick out of the fender a bit, but nothing that will look bad. I went with BFG's 33's on a 16.5x9.75 wheel, my rear tire will show you how much it sticks out. Here's the pic:

Thanks DGreen,
That's exactly the shot I wanted to see, though maybe a hair further back. You also have 589's which are a little deeper offset than mine.
Anyway, I'm trying out the 305's Friday at a local shop... if I don't like the fit, then on with the 285 BFG's!

Hey, also like the sound clip of your exhaust! I'll have to try that.

I went with the 305 Cooper's. Since the Eagle 143's don't have a deep offset, they don't really stick out.
Here's a comparison shot:
