Turning radius combined with hitting some bumps, rocks curbs or what have you..

I'd like 35's also but am concerned about hitting the fenders as well, my BDS 4" springs give me 12" from the top of the front tire to the top of the fender well with BFG 33's, just not sure its gonna clear the rear of the opening and would hate to spend the coin and find out i have a problem

Re: 70 GMC 4wd version

Appreciate all the concerns, i already bought the 35s before i even put one on. 500 for like new 35 bfgs wouldnt be hard to sell.

But they clear 100 percent fine, i drove the truck the 22 miles to my new house with no rubbing at all.

35s and 4 inches clear fine fore street driving, now that is with factory rallies so i dont have to worry about offset of aftermarket wheels.

I would never go bigger then a 16 on a old 4x4 so 315 70 17 where out of the question.

I got to thinking about thisnpost the other nighg, never did grt pics, but i have a 4 inch rough country lift, which everyone says wont clear, but i alsp have off road design shackles which are slightly longer then stock so i think thatmight be the difference.
