Are you wanting for looks or performance?

A 12" wheel will take MASSIVE amounts of "massaging" to run out back. I run 315's on 18"x11"s, but needed to have a rave with Sister Sledge and MC Hammer as co-top billing. I have zero rubbing, but much more rear-axle articulation than found on the SN95 4-link.

Im lowered about 3.5" and run 315s. They rubbed without rolling. I rolled the senders and they will still rub here and there but not bad.

3.5"?

Hell, even I am not dumped that far. Better check your math, cuz you would be almost literally sitting on the ground!

Jazzer says... huh?
