new 285's on!!
 
No more Wilderness AT's. Bluefish now has BFG AT/KO's 285/75/16 on the stock six spoke wheel. Looks real good with the Fabtech 3" spindle lift. The tire fits the wheel perfectly and does NOT rub at all. Acceleration is down just little so the regear to a 4.10 is not as urgent as I had planned. The front fender lip is now at 39" compared to 35" without the lift and only the 265's. Tires are not noisey and are great on wet roads. I will post pics once I can wash it since it has been raining everday. Thank you to all you guys for the info on lifts and tires so that I could get this done. If I can return the favor , let me know. This site is great!! Bluefish

Not yet, maybe this weekend. It is still raining every day. The lift and tires were a great mod. I only regret not doing it sooner. The 285's look great on the stock wheel and there is just the right amount of wheel well. Don't have a dig camera but will take the roll in and have a disc made. Bluefish
