New Shoes ... 315/70/17

I have been on this web site for over a year now and appreciate everything that everyone has posted.....I finally needed new tires on my truck so I ordered them up and here are some pics of them. They are the Good Year DuraTrac 315/70/17 on stock rims with a 2.5 inch level kit. They do rub a little bit, but nothing major (I just got them and havent even looked at where they are rubbing)....Thx again for all your help in the past.

Thanks for the comments

Thanks for all your comments. I figured out today where I am rubbing...Its on the upper control arm. Any idea how to fix this?? I know spacers would do it, but I don't want to travel down that road....any ideas would be great, but untill then, I just figure thats the price I pay for the bigger tires.....well, on top of the $1100 I already paid

I'd save up for new wheels that will push them out alittle. Wheel spacers on a full size are not a good idea imo.

Very nice

Looks great! After over a year it came down to the Dura Tracs or Toyo MT for me. I opted for the Toyo's but obviously you made a good choice.

They look great. To keep them off the control arms you would have to go with a 8" wheel with 5 1/2 inches of backspace or some with close to stock specs to bring them out 1/2 to 1" more then the stock wheels.
