Re: Fender trim quality

I bought two sets of the stuff LMC sells and i was quite happy with it.. I bought some stainless zips and installed it on the two last projects and it was great looks and fits well

Re: Fender trim quality

I have had my wheel well trim on for about 3 years now and they look just like the day I installed them, I also daily drive my truck all year round. I had to drill a couple of holes for mine as well. I also had to "massage" some of the bends in them to make it fit perfect but it wasn't to bad.

295 55 Mickey thompson radial.

But there's a narrowed 9 inch under it.
Stock should be 4.25 or 4.5 bs they rubbed terrible before the 9 inch swap

Went ahead and ordered the 295s. Tire shop said I could return and go down a size if I needed to. Worth a shot.

my 4" offset gives me a quarter inch more than you had and after taking measurements of where my current wheels and tires are vs where the new ones will be on a calculator its gonna be within .25" so we'll see. Getting them mounted this afternoon and should have em on the truck this evening. If its close and worth it, I may look into rolling my fenders. Truck is primered and the passenger bedside may need to be replaced anyway.
