Re: 57 with clip

I'm running a 215x60x17 on a 17x7 wheel with 3 1/2 backspace but I'm using Heidts short control arms on the clip AND it's going to be really close. I'm also using the Heidts coil over conversion so I can adjust the ride ht which is not yet to my exact specs yet AND I haven't done the alignment yet so don't take anything I have as a working solution yet. I had 245x45x17 tires on this first and they were too wide, even though I liked the look OK. The new ones give me an extra 1/2" of ride ht and I THINK they will turn with no mods, but maybe a trim on the fender lip. Be very careful on this. I put a set of 8" on the front of the original project with the stock clip and the truck would only go STRAIGHT!
