Ok, thanks for the pics, I was trying to see how far out they stand from the side, needed to see if I need extended fender wells to keep from slinging too much mud. Can't really tell from the pics though.
The hub looks fine through that rim.

Cool, thanks, maybe a view from the rear looking forward along the side, standing about 5' back? Just need to see how far out to the outside the tires stand.

Aw heck, that ain't bad at all.
I was thinking with a 4.5" spacer the tire would be sticking way out.
Thanks for taking the pics Bryan!

Climbhightree,

Did you notice any power loss going from 265s to 295s?

not really. i am sure there is some. i haul a 10,000 pound trailer of wood with it every now and then. It still pulls just fine. It also has put my speedometer more correct at slower speeds (was about 5 under before). At higher speeds I am going faster then speedometer says (guess it works on a percentage bases).

But even if there is slight power loss. I would still do it over again. Truck looks so much better and sits alittle higher.
