The tires are 35x12.50x17. You dont have to put spacers, but I did put 2" spacers. Check out the link below for some pictures...

But without the spacers I assume they rub against each other?

Totally understandable. Where I live the DOTs will ticket you if the tires touch at the bottom.

I would say we normally don't have that type of problem down here in my neck of the woods, but last week a guy I work with got a ticket for his tires sticking out to much. I believe the law is 2" I think. His were 2 3/4" now this is on a H2 hummer. The cop did not measure from his extended Bushwacker fender flares but instead from the bottom of the factory rear quarter panel. What can you do......

Hello everyone. I been down and out for a few days with the sickness. We sent a few people in the Saturday and 4 of us including me in Sunday. Trying to stop it from passing around the platform. It's been 5 days and I am now feeling like I am turning the corner with this cold.. Don't have any snow down here but got 2" of rain yesterday. Had a beautiful day today and the weather looks great for the next week. Mardi Gras week kicked off last night until Tuesday. We have a full week ahead.

We are headed to Burkeville, Tx Sabine ATV Park next weekend..

Pick up our new 40ft Load Max gooseneck trailer toady. Looking forward to loading it down and enjoying some great times with family and friends. After getting home with the trailer, I added a set of Timbren Bump Stops to the 2017 SD. Will see how much it helps next week..

I needed some extra room
