Is there such thing as too low?

Can’t really tell but I switched from a 295/45/22 in the front to a 255/45/22, which is the oem Rolls Royce Cullinan size. Scored some Continental Contisportcontact oem take-off’s for $150 each on eBay. Finally no more rubbing on the firewall or sway bar or washer fluid bottle or frame or fender or anything else you could imagine lol I can go full lock for the first time in almost 2 years

That’s awesome, it’s looking great too. Tires can make a big difference- on my bagged & bodied Silverado I switched to a narrower tire which meant it was stretched onto the wheel so the shoulder of the tire was more rounded and the sidewall angles inward resulting in more fender to tire clearance when driving and steering aired out. It made a big difference. :happy107:

The fronts are stretched a little bit so there’s a ton of clearance. It makes driving the truck so much more enjoyable
Not my GMT900, but it qualifies right?

I almost traded my truck for a c6. Kind of with the deal didn’t fall through but my wife would have killed me

Fender interferes just in the front, rear or both? I haven't done anything to my front fenders yet but I've rolled the rears. IIRC, I gained 1/2" clearance.
Didn’t get l to try the front yet but those should be fine because they are cut and pulled. Rear fender lip is completely cut out but it still sits right on the tire

Zero chance of tucking these wheels on the front. They also don’t clear the oem big brakes. Also remembered to get a good picture of my notchIMG_2126.jpegIMG_2128.jpegIMG_2125.jpegIMG_2130.jpeg

That DOES look great, tho!!! :love62: Seems like you've reached the limit there before the next phase of modifications need to happen in order to make it work whe you would have to tub the rear for the rear to work.

Start getting too crazy, Doug, and you'll end up with a rig as nice as @Young28 had back in the earlier days of the Forum. :party33:
