the camaro is sick. are you on ls1tech also? if so chevrunner21 here lol. hopefully i can scoop up a jeep soon and i'm probably going to do the same lift and tire size only because more lift and bigger tires are a little too pricey on jeeps for me right now being unemployed. good luck with both of the vehicles though.

Sorry to thread jack....

How do they not rub on the rear fenders? I have my fendes cut/folded and I'm rolling on 32's. As you can see in the pictures, my tires barely tuck... and they still rub when articulating. I wanted to run the Cragar soft 8's with 3.75" backspacing as well, but then they won't tuck at all. Right? I know I need front spacers though, the fronts rub on the control arms and sway bar links. Just curious as to what you guys have done to make this work... And I have a 3.5" Super Flex Kit....

I am going to assume that Teal has not had the oppertunity to flex yet.
I am running 33x10.5's and had to cut/fold/trim and beat the wheel wells to allow the tire fit/tuck up in.

How do you like the Kevlars?

The MTR's did pretty well. I only had them at 18 PSI and they weren't hooking up that well. Dropped them to 12 PSI and was able to go up everything. But as I said... lots of rubbing.

As you see in the pictures, I have the white letters on the inside. I know there is some debate about this. Goodyear says it doesn't matter, but some other guys have told me the tire is designed to run with the white letters out.

Anybody have any input on that?
