New footprint of my 11' EL

Finally was able to get the new tires and rims on the truck. Rides well, just doesn't stay as clean anymore.

Looks awesome! What size and brand tires are they? Is your Expy lift and if so what lift? Do you have any rubbing now?

Thank you, I did lots of research and couldn't find any newer Expy's running this size so I was a little worried at first. I installed the 3/2 Ready lift and the tires are 295/65/20 Cooper STT Pro's. I have always been a super swamper guy but they weren't practical for this ride. I have been quite impressed with the Cooper's so far. Excellent so far in what little snow we've had this year.

These tires measure a hair under 35.5 on my 20x9 rims and they do still rub the driver's side front inner fender (rear) only when steering wheel is full left. They only rub a small section that is molded out into a rib/hump, so I'm not too worried about it as there's nothing for the tire to "catch". I did have to trim about a 1/4" off the front of each running board and about 1/2" off the front bumper....normally call the ground effects as it was rubbing there as well. Rear of the truck is fine.

If you don't mind a little minor trimming these fill the wheel wells quite nice, but I would stick with a 34" tire if you want to steer clear of trimming. This of course with the added 3/2 lift.

I definitely wouldn't want to do any trimming so I would have to go with a smaller tire. Right now I am working on getting F150 wheels I bought painted for my 2010 Limited and I am going to run the tires I got because they were new when I bought it, but I'd love to do the lift and tires similar to yours someday! I am painting the wheels silver with tuxedo black accents to match the truck.
