I would not expect you to have to trim any more than pats04xlt. he said he only had to trim a little off the front valance not alot to keep it from rubbing at full lock. it should be minor rubbing but if you are worried and do not want to trim. you could go for smaller tire or find a rim with a larger backspacing say 5.5. or a rim that is only 8 inches wide. personally I turned down several rims I liked with 4.5 inch backspacing becouse I wanted a 9 inch wide rim and I did not want them sticking out that far.

What did you get prices on the 305 bfgoodrichs?Im curious if the ones im selling are in the right price range or not.

at two shops i went to they were priced at 269.00. one was also asking me to pay another 40 dollars on top of that for the shipping. When i went to costco, surprisingly they were chargin 181.00 per tire and 193.00 per tire installed. Is it hard to trim the lower valence? I do not want to butcher the front bumper? ahah.... i think u might be in the right price range.. they are one of the best tires out there on the market..

NOt that hard to trim it just gets cut on an angle some enough to clear.

I thought you said costco was more expensive. not cheaper. that price for $181 per tire is a great deal. I would jump on that. Or did you mean $281 per tire.
